Guilt-free Pleasure

So I've finally started a food blog. It took me forever to decide the subject of my first post but finally... it's here! Since it's Easter holidays, I'm sure many of us are indulging a bit more than we should. Here's my alternative to unhealthy sweets - apple crumble with rolled oats. It's sweet and tasty and you can eat it as a snack between meals without feeling guilty about adding unnecessary kilojoules to your day. 

All of these photos are taken by me! I hope you enjoy them. Please don't use my photos without my permission. Email me if you have any questions picniclane@gmail.com








recipe below...







Apple crumble with rolled oats

Ingredients:

1kg Granny Smith apples
1 tsp ground cinnamon 
4 whole cloves
2 tbs raw sugar
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup water
1 tbs polyunsaturated margarine spread
1/4 cup sultanas 

Method:
Peel and core the apples then cut into wedges. In a saucepan add 1 cup of water, apples, cinnamon, cloves and sugar. Simmer on low heat until the apples are tender. In a separate saucepan, melt the margarine. Add in the rolled oats and coat them in the melted margarine. Spread the cooked apples in a round pie dish then sprinkle the rolled oats on top until the apples are completely covered. Sprinkle the sultanas on top of the oats. If you like, you can sprinkle a bit more cinnamon on top for more flavour. Bake in a fan forced oven at 180ÂșC until the oats are golden and toasted.
