Solomon's crumble

''Comfort me with apples'' - The Song of Solomon........hence the name of this crumble. This is by far the most moist, sweet and tasty apple crumble I have ever tasted. I got the recipe from an old recipe book and just veganised it and 'tried' to make it a 'little' more healthy ( just an excuse so I can eat more of it!)

600g cooking apples, peeled, cored and sliced
113-170g unrefined granulated sugar
crumble: 56g plain white flour
              56g wholemeal flour
              56g porridge oats
              112g molasses sugar
              112g dairy free butter
              pinch of sea salt (optional)


Preheat oven to 190c/375f/gas5. Put apples into a pie dish and add the sugar all over apples with a very little amount of water (aprox 1-2tbls) For the crumble, put both flours, oats, salt (if using) and df butter into a bowl and work together with your hands until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the molasses sugar and sprinkle the crumble over apples. Bake for about 15mins and then reduce the temperature to 180c/350f/gas4 and bake for a further 35-40 mins or until the top is lightly browned......something that looks like this.........

Serves 4-6 thats if you want to share it! :-)
