Apple Crumble

Yep, they say an apple a day keeps a doctor away, but I am not a big fan of apples. That's before the apple crumble happened. A simple quick recipe to get some servings of fruit in.

Ingredients:

1. 3 small apple(s), Granny Smiths, cored, chopped
2. 1/8 cup raisins
3. 1.5 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
4. 1 tsp lemon zest
5. 1/4 cup(s) unpacked brown sugar
6. 1/4 cup(s) Quaker Oats Old-Fashioned Oats, or other brand
7. 1/8 cup(s) almonds, ground
8. 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, sifted
9. 1 tbsp butter
10. A few walnut pieces
11. A pinch of cinnamon

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 6-cup casserole dish with cooking spray.
2. Lightly cook the apples in a sauce pan, takes about a 3-4 minutes. (I added this step, not in the original recipe)
3. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle over fruit. Combine oats, almonds, walnuts and flour in same small bowl; rub in margarine using fingertips and then sprinkle the topping over the fruit mixture. Bake until the fruit is tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. Cut into 6 pieces and serve warm.

My personal notes:

• The quantities I have mentioned are half of what was stated in the original recipe (which had pears and 1/2 tsp of all spice in it as well).
• I substituted allspice with cinnamon powder and threw in a few chopped walnut pieces. I also pre-cooked the apples a little bit ( I saw a video where someone did that :)).
