Apple Crumble with Mixed Nuts

Today's recipe is quick and delicious - perfect for cold Winter nights when you are craving a treat but don't want to spend hours in the kitchen whipping something up. It's also great as a last minute dessert if you have unexpected guests. Of course, you can use fresh apples and prep them for this dessert but since this is a cheat's version, I've just used tinned apples.

I created the crumble in my Thermomix, however you can easily combine the ingredients in a food processor.

Apple Crumble with Mixed Nuts

Serves 4

40g butter, cubed
50g self raising flour
1/2 heaped teaspoon of cinnamon (plus a little extra for sprinkling)
40g brown sugar
50-60g mixed, unsalted nuts*
Cooking oil spray
400g tin of pie apple slices
Pure/double cream for serving

* If you prefer a certain type of nut, you can use that exclusively rather than using the mixed nuts.

1. Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius fan forced.

2. Place butter, flour, cinnamon, brown sugar and nuts in Thermomix. Pulse 3-4 times using the Turbo function with setting to lid closed.

3. Grease 4 small ramekin dishes using cooking oil spray and then divide the tin of apple between the four dishes.

4. Sprinkle the apple lightly with a little cinnamon.

5. Spoon crumble mixture into each dish until full. You will probably have leftover crumble, depending on size of dishes.

6. Place dishes on an oven tray in preheated oven and cook for 20 minutes. You may see bubbling around edges towards end of the cook.

7. Be careful not to burn yourself on hot dishes once ready to eat. You may want to wait a few minutes for them to cool slightly. Serve with a generous dollop of cream.
