Crumbble is a surprisingly delicious dessert with a crispy crust on top and a fragrant soft stuffing inside. But in itself a classic crumble, invented by English housewives, is a fairly high-calorie dish. And what to do to those who want to eat them, but at the same time counts calories and adheres to a healthy diet? There is a way out - a crumble with oat flakes. We offer you it today and cook.

Origin

As we have already said, dessert was invented by culinary experts from England. Translated from English, the word means "sprinkle" or "crumble". Cake crumble with oatmeal flakes - featuring a find for those who want to get a tasty filling and crispy crust.

Initially, the pie was prepared exclusively with apples. Then came a lot of other varieties: pear crumb with oat flakes, peach and berry, pie with dried fruits, chocolate and coconut filling. There are many options, but today we offer you to prepare a classic apple variant.

For preparation it is required

• Oat flakes are one glass, or 250 grams.
• A kilogram of peeled apples.
• One egg.
• Half a glass of milk.
• 180 grams of butter (in the budget variant instead of butter you can use margarine).
• One glass of flour.
• Sugar sand - 250 grams.
• 50 grams of any nuts (cashew, peanuts, almonds, walnuts).
• One teaspoon of ground cinnamon.

Cooking process

Crumble with oat flakes can be cooked using any kind of apples. If you like sour taste in desserts, then take green sour apples. If you want sweets, then choose your sweet red apples. They should be peeled and cut into small pieces. In some recipes, it is recommended to remove the core, but you can not do this. At your discretion.

Next, the apples must be extinguished a little. Put the pieces of apples in a frying pan, add sugar, butter and ground cinnamon. Stew until the apples are soft. Some housewives do not stew pre-apples. Here, too, the choice will be yours. If you like more crunchy apples in pies, then you do not need to extinguish. If you want the filling to melt in your mouth, then do not be too lazy to put out the apples before sending them to the baking dish.

The basis

Mix oat flakes with milk and egg. You should get a slightly liquid mass. We pour it into the bottom of the prepared form. We put apples on top. By the way, in the mass with kneading, you can also add nuts, raisins. They will certainly increase the calorific value and nutritional value of the dish, but at the same time give it a special charm and unusual taste.

Apple crumble with oat flakes is a layered cake. Two layers are already laid in the dishes. It remains to add a third. It will consist of mixed sugar and flour. In this crumbly mass, add the shredded butter on a fine grater. It must first be frozen in the freezer a little. So it will be easier to grate. Sprinkle this mixture with a layer of apples.

We put our crumbles with oat flakes and apples to bake in the oven, which was pre-heated to 200 degrees. The cooking time of this dish is 30-40 minutes. Everything will depend on the amount of dough and the size of the form.

Serve apple crab with oat flakes recommended with berry jam, honey, yogurt, jam or cream ice cream. When you get the cake out of the oven, give it time to cool a little. Only after that we cover the baking dish with a flat wide plate and turn the cake.

Dietary option

In spite of the fact that oats are used in cooking, not flour, the pie is still produced by calories from butter and eggs. Is it possible to further alleviate the dish in terms of calorie content? There are options.

First, as we have already said, the dietary crumble is a recipe with oat flakes, and not with flour. Secondly, we remove from the components such a product as butter, and replace it with low-fat margarine or vegetable oil without a smell. Thirdly, calories can not be added. And to serve such a dish is better with honey, and not with high-calorie sweet jam.

A few secrets

• Since the crumble with oat flakes is a very fragile dish, experienced housewives advise preparing it portion by piece. If you have small molds, then use them.
• If you want the top crust to be crispy as much as possible, then we advise you to take granola, muesli or very crushed nuts for sprinkling.
• If desired, the crumbble may be meat. You will need to replace some of the ingredients: berries and fruits - for vegetables with meat, sugar - for hard cheese. In the recipe, use vegetable or olive oil more, excluding creamy butter.
• The ideal way to serve this dessert is a combination of cold and heat. The cake should be as hot as possible, while at the same time the ice cream ball laid on top simply has to be icy cold.
• If you decide to make a pie with berries, then pour them into the mold without defrosting.
• Crumble is a universal dish. Many housewives call this cake "We'll prepare a delicacy from what is near at hand." For the filling can be used: blackberries and apples, pears, rhubarb with ginger, plum, black currant, apples with oranges, gooseberries, vegetables and meat, strawberries and blueberries. In general, everything that is at the moment in your refrigerator.
• By the way, cooked crumbly crumb is perfectly stored in the refrigerator. It can be done a little more than you need for one pie. And as soon as your household will want a crumble again, you will already have a workpiece, which will save time.
