METHOD

Step 1

Dice the apples into bite-sized pieces and place them in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the spices, half the sugar, and the flour. Prepare the strawberries by slicing them, then add a pinch of salt and the juice of half a lemon. Cook for 5 minutes, then stir in the strawberries and a bit more sugar. 

Step 2 

Once the strawberries start to soften, turn off the heat and prepare the crumble mixture. Combine flour, almond meal, rolled oats, hazelnuts, almonds, sugar, and butter. Spread the crumble mixture evenly over the apple and strawberry filling. Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake for about 40 minutes.
