Apple and Mincemeat Crumble
Apple and mincemeat crumble with oats is perfect for using up leftover mincemeat. You'll find yourself wanting to make this healthy Christmas crumble over and over again as it's so delicious. It's an easy festive dessert, and gluten free too.
Equipment
- oven proof dish approx 15 x 22cm
Ingredients
- 1 kg cooking apples
- 100 g mincemeat
- 150 g porridge or old fashioned oats
- 50 g butter room temperature, cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoon sugar white, brown or castor
Instructions
- Add the oats, butter and sugar to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the butter is mixed in but the oats still have texture.
- If you want to make the topping by hand, use very soft butter and rub it into the oats. Stir in the sugar.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (160 fan).
- Peel the apples. Cut into quarters and trim away the core. Cut into slices approx 3-4mm thick.
- Add the apples to the baking dish and stir in the mincemeat. Cover with the crumble topping.
- Bake for 30 minutes until golden. Check that the apples are soft with the point of a knife.
Notes
If you want to use eating apples rather than cooking apples, it's best to precook them before you make the crumble. Peel, slice and add to a pan with a tablespoon of water. Cook for 8-10 minutes until they are starting to soften. Discard any liquid before adding to the crumble.
For a gluten free apple and mincemeat crumble, make sure you use certified oats which have been processed separately from other grains.
