Apple Crumble

Ingredients:
7 apples
2 Teaspoons of cinnamon
1 Teaspoon of nutmeg
1 cup GF flour (I use organ)
1/2 cup organic raw sugar
1/4 cup rice bread crumbs (check they are GF)
2/3 cup coconut oil
3/4 cup rolled quinoa
3/4 cup psyllium husk
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
Method:
Core and chop apples into small chunks. Boil on a low heat on the stove just covered in water for 10 minutes.
An apple corer that chops it too is an amazing tool for this job.
While that is cooking add all other ingredients to a bowl and mix well.  I mix by hand - its that easy.
When the apple is cooked take it off the stove and put it in the bottom of an oven dish.  Spread topping over the apple.
Put in preheated oven for 15-30 minutes at 180 C.  Let it cool before you eat it, as it will be very hot!!!!

Upside down Feijoa

Tonight I am at a friend's home and we made some cake for our many allergies.

Ingredients
150 grams of coconut oil
3/6 cup agave nectar/ rice malt syrup/ honey (as 1/3 cup and 1/6 cup)
25 large feijoas, sliced
1 egg or 1 organ egg replacer egg
Juice of 1 lemon or half an orange (lime may also work - but we didn't try it).
1/2 cup pure maple syrup (for IQS diet may try rice malt syrup)
1 1/2 cups gluten free self-raising flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup coconut milk

Method

Melt 100 grams of the coconut oil with 1/3 cup agave nectar on a low heat whisking constantly to make a toffee base.
Pour into a medium sized cake tin (we used a spring form)
Place sliced feijoa over the toffee covering the whole base of the cake tin.
Mix the rest of the oil and agave til fluffy
Add the egg replacer/egg, lemon juice (or other citrus) and maple syrup and mix again.
In a separate bowl mix the flour and spices.
Add 1/3 of the flour and spice mix and 1/2 of the coconut milk, mix in well.
Add the second 1/3 of flour and spice mix with the second 1/2 of milk and mix.
Finally add the last of the flour and mix.
Pour over the feijoas.
Put in the oven for approximately 30-40 minutes at 170 C.

Can be served with a yoghurt of choice.
