Feijoa crumble recipe

This is a sweet feijoa crumble with a deliciously crunchy topping. 

Feijoas (otherwise known as Pineapple Guavas) are low in calories while being high in vitamin C, minerals, fibre and antioxidants. 


Yield: 8 servings


Ingredients

• 2c stewed feijoas (or other fruit)
• 2T sugar
• 1-2t cornflour (optional)
• 1/2c flour
• 1/2c brown sugar
• 3/4c rolled oats, finest cut available
• 1/2c course thread coconut
• 1t ground cinnamon or ginger
• 50g (2oz) chopped almonds
• 75g butter, melted

Method
1. Preheat oven to 160°C. 

2. Scoop flesh out of feijoas, or, if they are very small and hard, cut the skin off instead so you get more flesh. 

3. Stew feijoas in a pot with 1T of water on medium till softened (about 4 minutes), stirring to prevent sticking. 

4. Pour cooked feijoas into a large (30-35cm/12-14inch), shallow baking dish and sprinkle with sugar. If the fruit is very wet, sift 1-2t cornflour over it and mix through.

5. Combine the rest of the ingredients to make crumble topping, and sprinkle it evenly over the fruit. 

6. Bake at 160°C / 325°F for 30-40 minutes, or until golden. Accompany with vanilla custard, whipped cream or vanilla icecream.
