Apple Granola Crunch

granola-applecrumble

I like dessert. This is no surprise to any long-time reader of my blog, nor to anyone who's ever met me. I like the sweet stuff, for sure. However, I do recognize that dessert isn't for every day, and if I can find something fairly healthy that still hits the spot - all the better.

This little concoction is definitely noe of those. It's fast and simple to make, and provided you use a decent muesli to start with, it's pretty healthy as well.

Muesli is basically un-baked granola - so when it bakes, it becomes the granola in the recipe name. You can use granola from the beginning, but since that's usually sweetened, you might want to use a bit less sugar in the dish.

Oh - and this is definitely best served with vanilla ice cream or custard. If you're feeling particularly healthy, try it with a dollop of thick greek-style yogurt instead.

Apple Granola Crunch
Serves 2, generously

2 large apples
3 tbsp home made spice sugar
150 ml muesli or granola
40 g unsalted butter

Cut the apples into thin wedges and place in an oven-proof dish. Sprinkle with sugar and muesli. Cut the butter into very thin slices and place on top.

Bake at 175�C for 20 minutes, or until the apples are softened.
