Apple crumble is a traditional English dessert made from fruit, flour, butter, and sugar. However, we can enjoy the crumble in a saner way thanks to this version with corn.

Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients (for 8 people)

• 4 organic apples
• 150 grams of organic corn flour
• 100 grams of sunflower oil
• 125 grams of whole cane sugar
• 40 grams of oat flakes
• 40 grams of raisins
• Zest of an organic lemon
• 1 vanilla pod
• Cinnamon powder

Elaboration

• Step 1: Wash and dry one of the apples and pass it through the coarse grater. Then, add a few drops of lemon to prevent the apple from darkening.
• Step 2: Next, make a longitudinal cut in the vanilla pod and carefully remove the seeds inside. Heat a pan over low heat with two tablespoons of sugar.
• Step 3: Add a tablespoon of sunflower oil, a pinch of cinnamon, and the vanilla seeds. When the sugar begins to caramelize, add the grated apple and cook everything for 4 or 5 minutes.
• Step 4: Peel and dice the three remaining apples and add them to the pan along with the lemon zest. Sauté for a couple more minutes, turn off the heat, and reserve.
• Step 5: Preheat the oven to 180 °C in a large bowl, mix the corn flour, the rest of the sunflower oil, the oat, or cornflakes until you get a homogeneous mixture.
• Step 6: Place the sautéed apple that you have reserved in a container suitable for the oven and distribute the dry dough on top.
• Step 7: To finish, bake for 30 to 40 minutes at 180 °C, until the surface is golden.
