Apple Raspberry Crumble

Apple Raspberry Crumble01

After having taken a course of antibiotics for flu a few weeks ago, I found that not only was the medication really good to help kill the bad bacteria, sadly, but also my appetite. I understand yoghurt provides probiotics, known as good, friendly bacteria that’s beneficial for our digestive system. Too bad, I’m not quite into the blank and tangy taste of this dairy product. So, I headed over to make this apple raspberry crumble to entertain my taste bubs as well as boost my digestive health. This apple raspberry crumble is pure enjoyment with a balanced sweet and sour taste, with chunks of lightly sweetened apples, blended with crisp crumbles. By adding all these extras, it turned the boring yoghurt into an amazingly wonderful treat.

The “crumble” is one of the popular, simple baked desserts. Simply mix the flour, sugar and butter, then pop in the oven and bake until the mixture turns crisp. It perfectly goes with any fresh or frozen fruits.

Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 15 mins
Yield: 3 to 4serves

Ingredients:
  • 2 apple, green or red as you like, diced
  • 2 Tbsp caster sugar, or to taste
  • 4 Tbsp water
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon, optional
Sauce ingredients:
  • 100 gm raspberry, fresh or frozen
  • 1 Tbsp caster sugar
Crumble ingredients:
  • 100 gm plain flour
  • 3 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3 Tbsp rolled oats
  • 60 gm butter, chilled and diced
  • yoghurt, to taste

How To Make Crumble

Method:
  • Preheat oven to 180C/356F.
  • Use a small saucepan, put diced apple, sugar, water, lemon juice and cinnamon and mix well. Cook over low heat until the sugar is dissolved completely and the apple turns soft. Transfer into a bowl. Let it cool down.
  • Put raspberry and sugar into the saucepan. Cook over low heat until sugar is completely dissolved and raspberry starts to break down. Remove from heat. Let cool. Pass raspberry mixture through a sieve to strain the seeds if you like.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder and oats well. Use your fingertips to rub butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Transfer the mixture on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Loosen it up with a fork. Carefully transfer the crumbles with baking paper onto a wire rack and let cool completely.
  • To serve, spoon raspberry sauce, cooked apple dices into individual glasses. Add yoghurt, Sprinkle the crumble mixture over. Enjoy!

Notes:
  • While baking crumbles, don’t leave it unattended as it’s easily burnt due to the sugar mixed in. Make sure not to spread the crumble mixture too thin. It will help prevent from burning easily.
  • While cooking the apples, by adding a little of lemon juice, the apple dices won’t turn black easily. If using green apples, or enough sourness, you can skip the lemon juice anyway.

  5. This looks delicious and great for a guilt-free dessert. I've always wanted to eat yoghurt but can't because of the milk. Is there a brand of yoghurt you would recommend for those of us who are lactose intolerant or a substitute for the yoghurt?

    You asked a million-dollar question. :)
    I came across a lady at Aldi the other day, choosing a yoghurt maker. She told me she could make her own yoghurt using soy milk as she couldn't take those made by milk sold at supermarkets. Wonder if it can help. I'm no expert, just a sharing.

    I cooked the raspberry and sugar in a small saucepan on direct heat, not a double boiler. Just simmer to help sugar dissolve easier.

  18. Hi Christine
    How are you? May I know whether can I make the crumble in advance and into an air tight container?
    Thanks.

  19. @Caroline:
    Sure, the crumble can be made in advance and store in an air tight container. Just in case, the crumble turns soft, you can just pop them in a warm oven and heat it up again to get rid of the moist, they will become crunchy again.

  20. Hi,
    This recipe looks so good.. Can I use Quick Oats (Those Quakers brand Instant cooked Oatmeal) instead of Rolled Oats?

    1. Hi Jerene,
      The rolled oats I used will add more nutrients and texture. If it's not handy to you, you can use quick oats.
