Apple Pie for the family

We have been ordering the Oddbox vegetables lately and it is such a joy to receive a box of treats to use in your cooking. We do not plan our menu around it, but we always make full use of it, this recipe came about because we got some lovely large apples in a box that we needed to use. I need to give some thanks to Diethood as I searched Pinterest for a recipe and theirs seemed healthy and tasty, perfect for the entire family! Now heat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius and start your prep.

Ingredients:

FillingOat topping
2 – 3 Apples, Granny Smith but any will do1 cup plain flour
Half Lemon juiced1 cup rolled oats
1 Tbs plain flour1 cup light brown sugar
¼ granulated sugar1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon½ teaspoon baking powder
1 can of peaches1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ – 1 cup of raisins1/8 tsp salt
 ½ cup of butter, melted
 1 tsp vanilla essence

Roughly peel and chop 2-3 large apples disposing of the core, cover with the lemon juice this prevents browning. Put a knob of butter in a pot and melt once bubbling add the apples and sugar, stir well. Add the water and a tsp of cinnamon to the pot and simmer for 20 minutes. In the meantime, open the canned peaches rinse them under the tap and chop into pieces. With 10minutes simmering left add the chopped peaches and raisins and stir let it simmer for the remainder of the time.

Combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt and mix until they are well mixed. Whisk the vanilla into the melted butter and combine into the oat mixture, set aside until you need it.

Once the filling is ready, add 1 tbs of plain flour and ½ tsp of cinnamon into it and tip it into a baking tray and top with the oat topping. Place it in your preheated oven 40- 45 minutes and once it is done let is stand for 15 – 20 minutes and enjoy with a scoop of icecream or whipped cream!
