Apple and raspberry crumble

Even when you are trying to lose a few pounds, sometimes you just really fancy a pudding.  You know that cheesecakes and cream teas aren't the best option and now the "low fat but high sugar pavlovas" are a no no what do you choose?  Try this fruit crumble, I knocked this one up this evening using coconut oil (more about the benefits of this versatile oil in another blog) which completely removed the need for any sugar. The addition of the oats add some extra fibre and it tastes really yummy!  I always cook extra and spoon it into individual containers and the children take it to school for their packed lunch.

2oz coconut oil                                                      3 small cooking apples
4oz oats                                                                 350g fresh/ frozen raspberries
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Place apples and raspberries in the bottom of a greased dish.  Melt coconut oil in pan until liquid.  Turn off heat and stir in oats and cinnamon.  Spoon over fruit mixture and cook for about 20 minutes at 180c.  Tastes great on its own or serve with a dollop of Greek yoghurt.
