Ingredients
  

Apples

  • 8 Apples of choice Peeled, cored and cut into chunks
  • 60 g Light Brown or Coconut Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Wholemeal Spelt Flour
  • 1 flat tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 flat tsp Ginger

Crumble

  • 100 g Butter cubed
  • 200 g Wholemeal Spelt Flour
  • 100 g Light Brown Sugar, Dermerera Sugar or Coconut Sugar
  • 80 g Flaked Almonds Lightly toasted in a dry pan
  • 2 tbsp Desiccated Coconut Lightly toasted
  • 85 g Dark Chocolate chopped
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Ginger
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180C, Gas mark 4. 
  • Combine the apples with the sugar, flour, cinnamon and ginger. Add to the bottom of a casserole dish.
  • In a large bowl, rub the butter into the flour, then stir in the sugar. Add all the remaining crumble ingredients and mix thoroughly. 
  • Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the filling.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the apple is tender and the crumble is golden brown. 

Notes

  • Adapted from a recipe by Ruby Tandoh.
  • I prefer sweeter apples in my crumbles. I love Cox apples in an apple crumble. Gala apples are a step too far. Braeburn are another great choice. The usual cooking apples are too tart for my liking and that often means more sugar then has to be added. It is down to personal preference though. Maybe I just have a sweet tooth!
  • Spelt flour can be substituted for plain flour 1:1. I would really encourage you to ry spelt though because it adds a nuttiness that plain flour doesn't. 
  • You can skip the dark chocolate altogether or substitute for milk chocolate. 
  • The desiccated coconut can also be eliminated but I would up the almonds by 20g if you decide to skip the coconut.
