Dessert Recipe: Apple Crumble

About the Author:

Apple Crumble

Lactose free. Gluten free & vegan option available.

There’s nothing better than settling into camp after a long day and tucking into a warm bowl of cinnamon spiced oats topped with a buttery crumble. A winner every time!

Ingredients

Serves 1

Apple Mix:

  • 25g dried apple
  • 1/4 Tbsp brown sugar
  • A pinch of cinnamon

Crumble Mix:

  • 0.2 cups rolled oats
  • 0.1 cup flour
  • 0.35 tsp white sugar

Other:

  • 1 tsp ghee

Method

Before hiking:

  1. Place all Apple Mix ingredients in one zip lock, and all Crumble Mix ingredients in another zip lock. Keep the ghee in a separate container. 

When hiking:

  1. Mix ghee into the Crumble Mix. If the ghee is cold (and solid), then you will need to work it in with your fingers.
  2. Place Apple Mix in a pot and just cover with water. 
  3. Simmer on a low heat for 5-6mins, stirring frequently to make sure it doesn’t stick to the bottom. The apples will expand slightly as they rehydrate. Note that this step is to just warm the apples, the mixture doesn’t need any cooking.
  4. At the same time (if possible, otherwise after the apples are heated up), place Crumble Mix in a pan and cook on a low heat. Stir constantly to ensure the oats don’t burn. Take off the heat when the oats have started to brown.
  5. Top the Apple Mix with the Crumble Mix, ensuring you keep the leftover juice from the pot. Enjoy!

Notes

Dried Apple: This recipe works great with any dried fruit. My favourite is apple, but any fruit (like peaches, blueberries etc), will work really well! 

Gluten Free: To make the recipe gluten free, substitute the rolled oats for quinoa oats.

Vegan: You can substitute the ghee for oil if you want to make the recipe vegan.
