4 cups mixed seasonal fruits (such as apples, pears, berries, or stone fruits), peeled and sliced if necessary
¼ cup granulated sugar (adjust according to sweetness of fruits)
2 tablespoons cake flour
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Zest of 1 lemon
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt.
For the Crumble Topping:
1 cup oats
½ cup cake flour
½ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup B-well Canola Oil
· Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a baking dish with B-well Canola Oil and set aside.
· In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed seasonal fruits, granulated sugar, flour, lemon juice, lemon zest, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Toss until the fruits are evenly coated. Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
· In a separate mixing bowl, prepare the crumble topping. Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to combine. Pour in the B-well Canola Oil and stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
· Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit filling in the baking dish, covering it completely.
· Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 – 40 minutes, or until the fruit filling is bubbling and the crumble topping is golden brown and crisp.
· Remove the crumble from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
