Baked Apple & Pear Crumble (Gut-Friendly)

A healthy, microbiome-loving twist on a classic German autumn dessert. Perfect for satisfying sweet cravings without refined sugar.

Ingredients:

• 2 apples and 1 pear, cored and diced (leave the skin on for extra polyphenols!)

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• A squeeze of lemon juice

• 1/2 cup rolled oats

• 2 tbsp melted coconut oil or olive oil

• 1 tbsp walnuts, roughly chopped

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C.

2. Toss the diced apples and pear with cinnamon and lemon juice, then place them in a small baking dish.

3. In a separate bowl, mix the oats, walnuts, and melted oil until it forms a crumbly texture.

4. Sprinkle the oat mixture over the fruit.

5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the fruit is soft and the top is golden. Serve warm, perhaps with a spoonful of natural goat’s yoghurt for a probiotic boost.
