Fruit crumble
Here apples and blackberries are used, but you can include any of your favourite fruits as the base. Serves 4.

Ingredients:
For the filling
4 large cooking apples, peeled, cored, and diced
225g (8oz) blackberries
4 tbsp raisins (optional)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
zest of ½ lemon, grated

For the topping
100g (3 ½ oz) rolled oats
75g (2 ½ oz) wholewheat flour
50g (1 ¾ oz) organic butter
100 ml (3 ½ fl oz) maple syrup
organic single cream (optional)

Preparation:
1. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C (375 degrees F/Gas 5). Butter a 20 cm (8 inch) square ovenproof dish.
2. Mix all the filling ingredients together and place in the baking dish.
3. To make the topping, combine the oats and flour. Heat the butter and maple syrup until the butter has melted. Stir this mixture into the oats and mix well. Spoon the topping over the filling.
4. Place in the oven and bake for about 50 minutes – the filling should be soft, but not too runny. Serve with single cream, if desired.
