Apple crumble

Apple crumble

Apple crumble—but this time, make it apple crumble. 

A twist on a British classic—with a hint of the Med—did you know you can also make crumble with olive oil? 

For this recipe we’ve opted for 50:50, but you can use as much or as little EVOO as you like.

Working best with a light, delicate oil, this recipe is the perfect pairing for your pouch this month—a delicious oil from Sparta.

It's not too late to join the Club to get it before it is gone. 

    Here's the method:

    Serves 4

    • Preheat your oven to 180°C.
    • Peel the apples.
    • Slice, remove the core, and then roughly chop.
    • Pop in to your crumble dish and add a sprinkle of cinnamon, 1 tbs caster sugar, and drizzle of olive oil. Stir or shake to coat. 
    • In a separate bowl add your flour, remaining caster sugar, cubed butter and olive oil. 
    • Mix by hand until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. 
    • Add your "breadcrumbs" to your apple mixture. 
    • Gently press the mixture down once it is on the apple. 
    • Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown. 
    • Enjoy with ice cream, custard, cream—or just as is!  

    Make it your own

    Use all extra virgin olive oil, or swap the butter for a plant-based alternative to make this completely plant based.

    Magic chocolate mousse

    Chocolate mousse. And a touch of gold.  This stunning recipe is from Kali Jago, chef and co-founder of Palm Greens. Aquafaba is a magic ingredient, and for me personally I [Kali] love chocolate mousse and so I was so excited when I adapted one of my favourite Raymond Blanc’s chocolate mousse recipes to replace egg whites with aquafaba. What’s also so great about this, is you’re using an ingredient that is usually thrown away. This is light and fluffy, but also rich and deeply chocolatey. I ...


    Roasted Carrots with Orange & Hazlenut Gremolata

    A side dish fit for a festive table.  A classic Christmas dish with a modern twist. With zesty, toasted notes and a good dose of EVOO, these sweet roasted carrots bring brightness and comfort to the table. Things can get hectic in the kitchen during the holiday season so we suggest making the gremolata ahead of time (max two days) and giving it a final fry off in the pan before you spoon it over the roasted carrots.  This dish works well with any of our olive oils, particularly those with ro...
