Alternative to apple crumble with seasonal fruits.

Ingredients

16 fresh apricots
2 tbsp castor sugar
125g plain flour
100g castor sugar
50g shredded coconut
110g ground almonds
1/2 tsp allspice
1 tsp cinnamon
175g unsalted butter, at room temperature

Method

Pre-heat oven to 180C.
Cut the apricots in half, discard the kernels and arrange in a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle over the 2 tbsp of castor sugar.
In a separate bowl, mix the remaining dry ingredients together, then rub in the butter. The result should resemble coarse crumbs. If it feels a little dry, work in a little more butter. Sprinkle over the apricots and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top.
