After trawling through the recipes I have at hand on my faithful little white laptop and thinking about the ingredients here in the cupboard/fridge - who wants to go to the market unnecessarily after all - I decided on a crumble! Always a favourite with H'o'M... regularly asked for and rarely produced ;-)
I have loads of apples here - have I told you of my obsession with apples? - while the last time we were at the farm we came home with a bag of rhubarb that I have only just remembered.
With such amazing ingredients at hand, clearly it'll be an apple/rhubarb crumble tonight!
This is the crumble recipe I have decided to use tonight
- 1 bunch rhubarb, cut into 2cm pieces
- 3 Pink Lady apples, peeled, cored and sliced
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar
- finely grated rind and juice of 1 orange
- 3/4 cup self-raising flour, sifted
- 3/4 cup homemade granola - see here for recipe
- 100g butter, chilled, cubed
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
- A few changes are being made to the recipe that I originally looked at. It asked for Granny Smith apples but as I only ever buy Pink Lady apples, that is all there is to use. I know most baking asks for Granny Smiths as they keep their shape so well when baking, but I'm happy with the taste of Pink Lady and less defined shapes!
- I also swapped the muesli dictated for my own homemade granola and finally ... just because I'm me... I definitely won't be using 100g of butter! I'll add just what feels comfortable at the time.
Now that I'm reading it properly too, there is a slight issue with making this or in fact any sort of crumble tonight at all ... I have no brown sugar left! Mmmmm!?
I do have plenty of raw caster sugar though, and seeing as that is golden and not white, I'll just use that and see how it all turns out!

We must be related! I made crumble last night - 'Each peach, pear plum' but without the peaches.
