Apple Strawberry Crumble (Gluten Free)

The last couple of nights have been free and easy nights for me. The order that was supposed to be for Friday was delivred on Tuesday. I have been getting inquiries and orders, most of which I had to turn down....I have been having this throbbing headache since Friday night, flu came on Saturday and went off, but the body ache and headache stayed, only to ease after I pop some Actifast...not good, eh!...and today the flue came again....I'm sorry peeps, I hate to turn you down, but I just have to....

Anyway, I made this last night. My first try a gluten free bake. This goes especially to my dear friend, who people usually think is my sister, Liza who has turned to be gluten free due to some health reasons...and Dena, who has a child who's on a gluten free diet, as well!

Ingredients (recipe was adapted from Canelle Vanille's recipe)

Almond crumble

100g butter, soft

100g sugar, next time I will use organic sugar

100g flour, I used Bob's Red Mill all purpose gluten free flour

120g ground almond

80g raw almonds, chopped

pinch of salt

Method

Cream butter and sugar until pale. Add flour, ground almond and salt, mix and add chopped almonds. The mixture will be sandy. Refrigerate for about an hour.

Apple Strawberry Filling (it was supposed to be blackberries and cherries, none was available at Hock Choon last night)

160g green apples, peeled, cored and roughly chopped

250g starwberries, hulled and quatered

10g flour, I forgot !

20g vanilla sugar

zest and juice of one lemon

pinch of salt

Method

In a large bowl toss the fruits together with sugar and mix with lemon juice and zest.

I divided the fruits filling and topped them with the almond crumble. Baked at 170C for about 40 minutes or until the juices from the fruits overflow!

I couldn't wait thill this morning to savour this! It was so, so,  good! Of course the crumble was crumble as almond and gluten free flour did not have any starch, but yup it was really good...I'd do my crumble this way always! ...and I have fallen in love with the ramekins that Tina gave me...cant get enough of them!

This are for Liza...Dena is away performing her Haj!
