"Healthy" apple crumble (Prep time : 1hr)
Note : The only reason this dish is supposedly healthy is because I have tried to cut down on the refined white flour (maida) and substitute it with whole wheat flour (atta).Also I've added in the ubiquitous flaxseeds and walnuts that you'll see often on this blog!
Ingredients
- 3 Apples (any kind)
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup refined white flour (maida)
- 1/2 cup atta
- 1 egg (or two eggwhites)
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- optionals : handful of flax seeds and walnuts (ground)
Procedure
Preheat the oven to 350F. Slice 3 apples and put them in an ovenproof dish and sprinkle over 2 tbsp brown sugar. Use a food processor to whiz together the maida, atta, brown sugar, ground flax seeds, walnuts and cinnamon. Add the butter and egg to the blend and "pulse-whiz" in the processor until you get a coarse breadcrumb-type texture. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples and bake until the top is browned and the apples are warm and just a tad mushy. Serve warm with vanilla icecream!
Note : Add lemon/lime juice as a flavor enhancer (thanks Nidhi!)

Prolific, I say! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThe husband loved the apple crumble so much, he cajoled me into leaving the teeny last portion for him when I told him I was having it as a tea accompaniment. Also, I found one could juggle the proportion of flours a bit more. I did- whole: refined:: 1/2C:3/4C.
ok i'll try this ratio the next time i have apples sitting around!
ReplyDeleteAlert: Avoid cooking flaxseeds....heat produces some chemical reaction that is highly avoidable. You cd sprinkle them on once it's cooked,maybe.
