Rhubarb and Apple Crumble | NO refined sugars or fats

This is one of my favourite recipes at this that time of the year as we are inundated with loads of rhubarb in our garden.

Ingredients

Filling

• 3 Cooking Apples/Braeburn
• 1 bunch (400g/14 oz) rhubarb, washed, trimmed and cut into chunks
• juice of one lemon
• 4 tbsp date Syrup (If you don’t like dates you could use maple syrup)

Crumble

• 1 cup flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 3 Tbsp of Apple Puree
• 1 cup jumbo oat flakes
• 3 tbsp date syrup (If you don’t like dates you could use maple syrup)

Method

1. Place your apples and rhubarb in a saucepan with the juice of 1 lemon and the date syrup. Pop on to the hob, on medium heat for around 10 minutes.
2. Preheat your oven – Gas mark 6
3. To make the crumble, in a bowl add the oats, apple puree, date syrup, and cinnamon.
4. Rub the ingredients together with your fingertips until you achieve a crumbly texture.
5. Line the side of your baking bowl with a little butter to prevent sticking. Add in your apple and rhubarb filling then top with your crumble.
6. Pop into the oven for around 20 minutes or until brown.
7. Serve with dairy-free ice cream or custard.
