Apple & Berry Crumble

Ingredients

4 large (about 1kg) Granny Smith

              apples, peeled, cored and cut into

              1cm thick wedges.

	2 tbs caster sugar
	1 tbs lemon juice
	1 tbs water
	1/2 cup rolled oats

	1/3 cup brown sugar
	1/4 cup plain flour
	1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
	75 g butter, softened and chopped
	150 g blackberries, raspberries or blueberries

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Place apples, 1 tbs sugar, lemon juice and water into a medium saucepan. Stir to combine.  Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat for 5 minutes or until apples start to soften. Drain apples.  Set aside to cool slightly.

2. Meanwhile, combine rolled oats, brown sugar, plain flour and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Using your fingertips, rub in butter until it is well combined with all ingredients.

3. Combine apples, berries and remaining 1 tbs sugar in a medium baking disk (about 30 cm long x 15 cm wide x 5 cm deep). Top fruit evenly with crumble mixture. Bake for 30 minutes or until crumble is crisp and fruit is tender. Serve with reduced fat thick natural yoghurt or vanilla ice-cream, if desired.
