Flapjack Oat Crumble Topping


With Winter coming soon, get ready to make the very traditional English crumble. This has a fantastic twist that gives it a gooey texture like flapjack.

Serves 6 (with a thick crumble topping)

Ingredients
170g Plain Flour\Wholemeal Flour
170g Rolled Oats
75g Butter
130g-150g Soft brown sugar (depending on how tart your fruit is)
2-3 tablespoons Golden syrup

Method

  1. Rub the butter into the flour using your fingertips. You want to make sure you don't melt the butter. It should resemble breadcrumbs.
  2. Now rub the oats into the flour and butter mixture.
  3. Once completely mixed, stir in the sugar using a spoon.
  4. Add the golden syrup gradually and not it large clumps. Move it evenly around the bowl.
  5. Mix the golden syrup into the crumble mixture so that it forms small balls of mixture.
  6. Add to the top of your favourite fruit: apple, apple and blackberry, blackcurrant, raspberry etc.
