Apple and Gooseberry Crumble
If you've got access to some gooseberries, then this apple and gooseberry crumble is a must. Apples add a little natural sweetness to the fruit, and the topping is made from oats for extra texture and crunch.
Equipment
- Food processor or can mix by hand
- 20 cm pie dish approx
Ingredients
- 300 g gooseberries fresh or frozen
- 300 g cooking apples (1 large) or use dessert apples
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoon sugar
- 150 g porridge or rolled oats certified GF if necessary
- 50 g butter room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (160 fan).
- Add the oats, butter and 2 tablespoons of sugar to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until mixed and clumping together slightly. Don't over process the mixture otherwise you'll lose the texture of the oats.
- If you want to make the mixture by hand, soften the butter slightly in a pan over a low heat and mix in the oats and sugar.
- Prepare the fruit. Top and tail the gooseberries. Peel the apple, and cut the flesh from the core. Cut into 0.5 cm slices.
- Add the fruit to the baking dish and mix in the remaining tablespoon of sugar and ground cinnamon. Add the crumble topping and cover the fruit.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden. Dessert apples will take slightly longer to soften, so check they are cooked through properly with a point of a knife.
Notes
If using frozen gooseberries, there's no need to defrost.
