Desserts and guilt- free are words that do not always go hand in hand.
So I
started to experiment a bit, trying to prepare a sweet treat that has
more fresh fruits and less dough and white sugar and still tastes great.
The result was
quite a hit among our friends and the gals loved it for tea time!
For the
Apple Grape Streusel you need:
1kg (2.2lb) apples, peeled, cores removed
½ kg (17.6 oz.) red
grapes , halved and seeds removed.
2 spoonful lemon juice,
freshly squeezed
For the Streusel:
190g (6 oz.) flour
190g (6 oz.) ground almonds
200g (6.4 oz.) caster sugar
225g (7oz.) butter
1/2 spoonful cinnamon
190g (6 oz.) ground almonds
200g (6.4 oz.) caster sugar
225g (7oz.) butter
1/2 spoonful cinnamon
Preparation:
Halve apples
and cut them in thin slices.
Sprinkle with
lemon juice.
Wash grapes
carefully, halve and remove seeds.
Combine
apple slices and grape halves.
Mix flour, almonds, sugar and cinnamon
Melt the butter and with the help of 2 forks add bit by bit to the flour-almond-sugar mixture.
The mixture
should be crumbly.
Grease a rectangular
Pyrex and add the apple grape
combination.
Top with
the crumble.
Preheat
oven at 200C° (380F)
Bake for
about 1/2 hour or until slightly golden brown.
Let cool
down and sprinkle with a bit of icing sugar before serving.
Serves 12-
14.
Enjoy! See you next Tuesday!
