Apple Blueberry Crumble

  

I saw this dessert at Rachana's blog and decided to try it a few months ago.  I make it several times a week now either for breakfast or a snack. 

Organic Granny Smith apples seem to taste the best.

 Here is our favorite type of blueberries:

I made just a couple of changes to her recipe...

Apple Blueberry Crumble
Ingredients:
1 organic apple, chopped 
1/3 cup blueberries
1 tablespoon honey
Dash of cinnamon

Topping:
1 tablespoon whole wheat flour or oat flour
2 tablespoons oats 
1 tablespoon sucanat (or brown sugar)
Handful of chopped walnuts
1-2 tablespoons butter

Directions:
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-Cook the apple, blueberries, honey and cinnamon powder in a pan on medium heat until the fruits are slightly soft.  (You can throw in some ground flaxseed too if you like.)
-Mix all the ingredients of the topping, except for the butter, in a bowl.
-Place the cooked fruits in a small baking dish.  
-Use that pan to melt the butter and then add it to the topping ingredients.
-Spoon the topping over the cooked fruits and spread evenly.
-Bake for about 15 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
