This recipe was in Mum’s Recipe book but it was called Apricot Crumble Bars. I didn’t have any apricots so I made it with apple and then decided to make it as mini crumbles rather than bars so the name is forever been changed!! I also added some Essential Oils to the mix to make those flavours pop!

These are amazing little treats that are great when eaten fresh just like a kind of healthy cake or heated up and served with ice-cream. They also freeze well and can quickly be heated in the microwave as an instant dessert!

What you will need:

1/2- 3/4 cup raw or brown sugar

3/4 cup butter

1 1/2 cups plain flour

1 1/2 cups rolled oats

 

 

 

 

1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon

Cinnamon and Ginger Essential Oils

 

1 can pie apple (or soaked dried apple)

Method:

Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a processor or Thermomix. Mix in the butter – the final product should be crumbly and a bit sticky (because of the butter).

Set aside a cup of this mixture.

Place a spoon of this mixture into the bottom of muffin pans.

Bake at 180 C for 15 minutes.

Add a drop of Cinnamon and a drop of Ginger Essential Oils to the fruit and mix in well.

Layer the fruit on top of this first layer.

Sprinkle the remaining mixture over the fruit.

Bake in an oven at 180 C for 10 minutes or until the topping is starting to brown.

Allow to cool completely before removing from the muffin pans.

Enjoy!
