Ingredients

  • 500g rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 2cm pieces

  • 3 apples, diced

  • 1 packet (85g) raspberry or strawberry jelly crystals

  • ½ cup flour

  • ¼ cup brown sugar

  • ½ cup rolled oats

  • ¼ cup desiccated coconut

  • 75g cold butter, cut into cubes

  • ½ cup white chocolate bits

Method

  1. In a large saucepan, combine rhubarb, apples and a quarter cup of water over medium-high heat. Cook for 5-10 minutes or until tender. Stir in jelly crystals, then transfer to a large baking dish.

  2. Preheat your oven to 180°C.

  3. To make the crumble mixture, place the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats and coconut in a large bowl. Rub in the butter to form a crumble. Stir through white chocolate bits.

  4. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the fruit. Place in the oven to bake for 20 minutes.

  5. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Speed up the prep time by making the crumble in a food processor instead of by hand. Process to form crumbs, then stir in the chocolate bits.

  • Make individual portions of crumble by dividing the fruit mixture and crumble into small ramekins.
