Healthy Eating desserts: Apple Crumble

This topping might be a leap of faith for some of you who are used to flour, butter and sugar. But we eat so much of this on a day to day basis, this is my attempt at something delicious but good in terms of healthy eating! Only add the sweetener (honey or syrup) if you have a really sweet tooth as I don't think you need it as the cashews are naturally quite sweet). I also grind the nuts and seeds. You live with picky eaters or have children that are picky eaters, grinding is a great way of getting nutrients into them without them knowing (blending is also another way). The cashews and the sesame in this recipe are the same colour as the oat flour and so they don't notice it as much!

Use the apple types that suit cooking well. I am using sweet or everyday apples for this as people tend to add sugar to cooking apples. Everyday apples do not fluff up nicely like cooking apples so I tend to grate them to make them a bit more stewwy.
