INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare a square baking tin and preheat oven to 180°C/350°F.

2. Combine the base ingredients and pour ¾ of it into the prepared tin and press down firmly with the back of a spoon. Bake in the oven for approx. 15 minutes until it begins to turn brown around the edges. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

3. In a saucepan, combine the diced apples, raspberries, corn starch and cinnamon until well combined. Heat for approx. 6 minutes until the mixture thickens and stir frequently to avoid the mixture sticking to the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

4. When the base layer has cooled, pour the fruit filling on top of the base layer and spread evenly with a spoon.

5. Pour the remaining base layer and chopped almonds/nuts on top of the fruit filling. Sprinkle the top with cinnamon and rolled oats. Press down gently with the back of a spoon.

6. Bake for around 25-30 minutes. Be careful that the crumble around the edges doesn’t burn. When ready, remove from the oven and allow to cool.
