Equipment

  • Baking pan Measuring 12 x 9 inches

Ingredients

For the fruit filling

  • 5 apples red and green apples, cored and diced
  • 2 cups blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 2 tablespoon honey

For the crisp topping

  • 1.5 cups oats gluten free, if required
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cardamom optional
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg optional
  • 3 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoon pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 360F / 180C.
  • Add the cored, diced apples and blueberries to the baking pan and drizzle with honey.
  • In a large bowl, add the ingredients for the crisp topping - the oats, butter, spices, pumpkin seeds and brown sugar. Rub the butter between your fingers so that it softens and combines with the oats and other ingredients. Top the fruit filling with the mixture.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping begins to brown. Keep an eye on it in the last ten minutes for any signs of burning!
  • Leave to cool for a few minutes before serving as the fruit will be very hot.

Notes

  • Dice the apples into roughly similar size pieces. It's down to preference whether you peel them or not.
  • Keep an eye on the crisp towards the end of cook time, as the topping can catch and nobody wants a burnt crisp!
