One of the hardest things I find about being a coeliac is the lack of good tasting gluten free naughty food. By that I mean cakes, biscuits and puddings - I have the worst sweet tooth! So because of this, if I was going to take on my new challenge seriously I would have to start baking and making my own. I've always loved baking but after being diagnosed with coeliac it took quite a bit of a back burner. That was until recently when a sudden urge for crumble came about.
That's the thing with the changing of the seasons, autumn and winter simply mean comfort food, to me anyway. So this said I thought what better thing to try gluten free than crumble. I found a simple crumble recipe (flour, butter, sugar) and adapted it, not only to gluten free but my own taste, here goes. The ingredients are as follows:
1 cup of oats
1 cup of plain, gluten free flour
3/4 cup of demera sugar
125g soft butter
2 tbs of cinnamon
2 tins of sliced apples
N.B. I used tinned apples as I personally don't have the patience to peel, dice and cook my own, but that's your call :)
 |
| While your getting all your ingredients together pre heat the oven at 180c |
 |
| Place all the ingredients minus the apples in a large mixing bowl. |
 |
| Mix together until the crumble mixture is like fine breadcrumbs |
Then place the apples, and any juice in the tin, into a oven proof baking dish. I also like to sprinkle a bit of sugar and cinnamon on top before the crumble mix, but that's your shout!
 |
| Place in the oven at 180c for around 40 minutes or until the top of the crumble is brown and slightly crispy |
Personally, I like my crumble with cold custard as then it makes it easier to devour. But it also is yummy with warm custard, cream or, another favourite, luxury vanilla ice cream.

| Enjoy! |
