Apple & plum crumble with oat & seed topping
Fruity and nutty, this high energy crumble is delicious hot or cold. Add a dollop of custard, cream, or thick yoghurt for a creamy treat. The fibre-rich cooked fruits often sit more gently on an unsettled stomach. The cooking seems to soften the fibres as well as bring out the amazing flavours. Oats and seeds provide invaluable zinc and other B vitamins.-

Method
- To make the ground nuts mix, roughly chop all the nuts (this can be done by hand or in a processor). Put them on a baking tray and roast in a hot oven (180°C/Gas Mark 4) for 10 minutes. Allow them to cool and then grind to a powder in a spice grinder or using a pestle and mortar.
- Store in an airtight jar.
- Preheat the oven to 200ºC/Gas Mark 6.
- In a large pan stew the apples and plums in the concentrate with a splash of water.
- When the apples begin to soften, add the cinnamon and mixed spice.
- Pour into an ovenproof dish.
- Mix the topping ingredients together and sprinkle generously over the filling.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
