Apple & Blackberry Crumble Slices (vegan and gluten free)

Ingredients:

• 300-400g eating apples

• 400g blackberries

• 300g vegan butter

• 300g porridge oats (gluten free if needed)

• 300g light brown soft sugar + 2 tbsp

• 300g gluten free plain flour

• The juice of 1 lemon

Method:

Preheat the oven to 190C/gas mark 3. Grease and line a roughly 15-20cm square brownie tin.

Place the vegan butter in a large saucepan over a low heat and leave to melt, then take off the heat.

Add the oats, flour, 300g sugar and a pinch of salt and mix well.

Take out about 15 big spoons of the mixture and put it to one side to make the topping, then press the rest of the mixture into the bottom of your tray and press down with the back of a spoon until it is spread evenly.

Chop the apples small and put into a bowl with the blackberries, squeeze over the lemon juice and sprinkle over the two tbsps of sugar then stir gently or toss to coat.

Scatter the fruit over the base and sprinkle the reserved topping over the top.

Bake for 30-40 minutes until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden.

Let this cool completely in the tray before cutting into slices. Keep in the fridge, but remove to bring to room temperature before serving.

These bars will keep for 5 or more days in the fridge.
