Apple crumble slice

Ingredients:

Base

1½ cups almond meal

2 eggs

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp milk

1 tbsp maple syrup

Apple filling

8 JAZZ™ apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1cm cubes

2½ tbsp cornflour

Juice from 1 lemon

½ tsp nutmeg

1 tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp cloves

⅓ cup of water

Crumble

¾ cup plain flour

¾ cup oats

¼ cup brown sugar

100g cold butter

Method:

Base

• Preheat the oven to 160°C. Line a 26cm x 20cm baking tin with baking paper.
• In a large mixing bowl add almond meal.
• In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, milk and maple syrup. Add wet ingredients to almond meal and combine well.
• Spread the base mixture evenly and bake for 10 minutes, until slightly golden. Set aside to cool.

Apple filling

• Toss apples in lemon juice immediately to avoid browning. Add cornflour and spices and toss. Transfer to a medium saucepan with the water and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the apples are soft. Spread apple filling evenly on top of the baked base.

Crumble

• Set oven to 180°C.
• Combine ingredients in a mixing bowl.
• Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture is well combined and is crumbly to touch.
• Evenly spread the crumble mixture over the apples and place in the oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Set aside and allow to cool before cutting into squares.
