What you will need:

- Oatmeal , Flour, Walnuts (this is optional)..........1 cup each ingredient
- Cinnamon............. 2 teaspoons
-Salt............1/4 teaspoon
Mix B
Vegetable Oil, Maple syrup ........1/4 cup of each ingredient
Vanilla Extract (essence is ok too)..............1 teaspoon
Apples .......... 2-3 large apples
Lemon juice............1 table spoon
Starch (potato would do)................1/4 cup (30g)
Salt...........1/4 teaspoon
Cinnamon.......2 teaspoon
Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius
1. Put Mix A into a large bowl and mix well
2. Add Mix B into the bowl with Mix A, mix well with a rubber spatula
3.Cut the apples up into thin slices and put into a separate bowl. Add lemon juice into the bowl with the apple slices. Mix well with hands.
4. Add starch, salt and cinnamon into the apple bowl and mix again with hands. The consistency should be kind of silky from the starch.
5. Spread the apple mixture into a large oven-safe dish. The apple mix should be lying flat.
6. Now spread the oatmeal mix on top of the apple.
Cover the dish with aluminium foil and put in oven for 45 minutes. Then remove foil and cook in oven for another 15 minutes to for a crunchy oatmeal topping.
Note: 'Crumbles' are known as 'Crisps' in the States.
The recipe is rough translation from a Japanese natural living magazine called 'tennenseikatsu' - some of the ingredients were altered for local ingredients.

My recent food overhaul I have been on has made me reassess the food we consume and where it's from and how we eat - which is a good thing. It has also made me more motivated to make food from scratch.
I've had good days and bad days for this. When you're away it can be a challenge to have a fridge well stocked of alternative food options -especially university cafeterias. Recipes such as this crumble is soo easy to make and it tastes GREAT! Plus the ingredients are stuff you'd have in the fridge and the washing up is not much too.
