Ingredients:

4 apples
640g
1/2 cup dates
72g
1/3 cup orange juice
72g
1 cinnamon stick
3g
1/3 cup oats
30g
1/3 cup almonds
40g
2 tbsp coconut meat
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Prepare the Filling:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced apples, chopped dates, and orange juice.
- Add the cinnamon stick and stir to combine.
3. Cook the Filling:
- Place the saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the dates have broken down to form a sticky, sweet mixture, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and discard.
- Transfer the apple-date mixture to a baking dish and spread it evenly.
4. Prepare the Topping:
- In a bowl, combine the oats, chopped almonds, and shredded coconut meat.
- Stir until the mixture is well combined.
5. Assemble the Crumble:
- Sprinkle the oat-almond-coconut mixture evenly over the apple-date filling in the baking dish.
6. Bake:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
7. Serve:
- Remove the crumble from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Tips:

- Choose a mix of apple varieties for a more complex flavor profile.

- Soak dates in water for a few minutes if they are too hard to ensure they blend smoothly.

- Use rolled oats instead of instant oats for a better texture in the crumble topping.

- For a nut-free option, substitute almonds with sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.

- Add a pinch of salt to the crumble topping to enhance the flavors.

- Serve the crumble warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra indulgence.
