Instructions

Fruit Mixture

Begin by preheating the oven to 180c (360F). Chop the apples into small chunks and place in a bowl along with the blackberries, maple syrup, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Combine.
Empty the fruit mixture into an ovenproof dish or tin.

Crumble Topping

To a blender add ⅔ of the oats (160g or 2 cups) and blend into a flour (takes 30 seconds).
Add this oat flour to a separate large mixing bowl along with the leftover 80g (1 cup) of whole oats, butter, maple syrup and mix together with your hands.
Top the fruit with the crumble topping and bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
