Blood Orange Apple Crumble

A crumble is such a great winter dessert because it is both easy to make and quick to prepare. You can prep a crumble for baking earlier in the day (or even the day before) and then just pop it in the oven while eating dinner to have for dessert. Equal parts comforting and delicious, a crumble is also the perfect vehicle for thick cream or ice cream.

For this recipe the apples are cooked in the juice of a few blood oranges turning them a gorgeous shade of pink. A little sugar and cardamom is then added before it is all tipped into a dish and topped with fresh blood orange segments. A simple crumble topping with flour, butter, oats, sugar and blood orange zest is then sprinkled on top before baking.

This is a simple and easy recipe that showcases the beauty of the bejewelled blood orange.

Step 1
Zest two blood oranges and set aside the zest. Juice the two blood oranges you have zested and two additional blood oranges. For the remaining blood orange, segment it and set it aside.

Step 2
In a large frypan, combine coconut oil and the blood orange juice and heat over medium/low heat until coconut oil has melted. Add the apples and cook gently for 5 minutes until softened. Add the sugar and cardamom to the pan and cook for a further 2 minutes. Transfer the filling to a baking dish and top with blood orange segments.

Step 3
To make the crumble combine the flour, oats, brown sugar and blood orange zest in a large bowl and mix until well combined. Add the butter and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly on top. There is enough crumble mixture to have a thick layer on one crumble or a thinner layer on two crumbles. You can freeze any leftover crumble mix until you have enough fruit to make another one.

Step 4
Preheat oven to 180°C (356°F) and cook for 30 minutes or until the crumble topping is golden. Serve warm with thick cream or ice cream.
