Ingredients
1 x Madame Flavour Mint tea bag
1 ½ cups boiling water
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 small apples, peeled and cored
Crumble:
½ cup rolled GF oats
2 tbsp desiccated coconut
2 tbsp almond meal
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
Method:
- Place the Mint tea bag into a small saucepan and pour the boiling water over the top. Let the bag steep for 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the tea bag, squeezing it to release as much liquid as possible.
- Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla. Add the apples and extra water to barely cover, then bring to a simmer. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
- Remove the apples and set aside.
- Bring the poaching liquid to a rolling boil and boil for 30 minutes until syrupy.
- To make the crumble, combine everything into a small food processor and pulse to combine. Add a splash of water if needed.
- Place apples on a plate and spoon some of the crumble on top.
