The macros are listed below if you are interested in keeping track of your carb, protein and fat intake.

Ingredients:

Compote:

450g apple
120g blackberries (I used frozen blackberries)
1tsp ground ginger
1tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp coconut oil

Topping:

75g rolled oats
50g Walnuts
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp coconut oil

Method:

1.Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

2. Prepare the apples by peeling, coring them and cutting into small chunks. In a large saucepan, melt the coconut oil with the honey.

3. Next, add the apples, blackberries, ground ginger and cinnamon, and let the mixture simmer for around 15 minutes (until the apples are soft).

4. Now pour the compote into your crumble dish, and spread it out evenly.

5. Next, in a small bowl mix the rolled oats, walnuts and cinnamon until fully combined. Pour the honey and coconut oil in the middle of the oat mixture and fold until combined.

6. Place the oat mixture on top of the apple mixture and sprinkle with extra walnuts and a drizzle of honey.

7. Bake for 40-50 minutes until the top is crispy.

8. Now, enjoy!

I recommend serving this pudding warm, with some greek yogurt. This is a great alternative to ice cream and adds the nutritional benefits of good fats and probiotics.
