These hot summer days are the perfect time to whip up a fruity dessert. This apple-blueberry crumble is both easy to make and can fit into a well-balanced diet.
Filling Ingredients
3 large Red or Golden Delicious apples (about 2 pounds), unpeeled, cut into ½-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
2 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tbsp. whole wheat flour
1 tsp. vanilla extract
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Topping Ingredients
½ cup walnuts, very finely chopped
½ cup old fashioned or quick cooking oats
2 tbsp. whole wheat flour
2 tbsp. ground flaxseed or wheat germ
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. canola oil
Directions
1. Wash your hands thoroughly.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Place the apples, brown sugar, flour, vanilla, and cinnamon in a large bowl and toss to coat. Gently stir in the blueberries.
3. Place the apple mixture in an 8x8-inch baking pan or dish and set aside.
4. To make the topping, place the walnuts, oats, brown sugar, flour, flaxseed, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Add the oil and stir until the mixture is coated well. Spread the topping evenly over the fruit filling mixture.
5. Bake 40-45 minutes or until the fruit is tender and the topping is golden brown. If the topping browns too quickly, cover with foil halfway through baking.
Tip: Serve with a topping of low-fat vanilla frozen yogurt or a small amount of whip cream.
