  2. To make pastry, sift the flour, add the caster sugar and rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  3. Add enough beaten egg to bind the pastry. The pastry can also be made using a food processor.
  4. Cut a circle of parchment to fit a large pastry dish, sprinkle with flour, roll out the pastry on the floured parchment and then slide it into the dish and bake blind for about 15 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile boil the ingredients for compote for 3 – 4 minutes.
  6. When pastry is baked, fill with the apple and cranberry compote.
  7. To make the crumble topping, combine the flour, sugar, butter and oats in a food processor until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs. (Add the oats last if you would like them to stay coarse and be visible in the crumble).
  8. Sprinkle the crumble over the fruit and bake in the oven for about 40 minutes.
  9. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

  • Makes 1 x  8″ Cake
    Carrot & Oatmeal Cake Mix
    Ingredients:
    • 300ml vegetable oil
    • 250g plain flour
    • 1 &1/2 t spoons bicarbonate soda
    • 380g sugar
    • 4 medium eggs
    • Pinch of salt
    • 1 t-spoon ground cinna36
    • 360g grated carrot
    • 90g chopped pecans/ walnuts
    For Creamed Cheese/White Chocolate Frosting
    Ingredients:
    • 100g butter
    • 70g icing sugar
    • 150g creamed cheese
    • White chocolate to taste- optional

    Method:

    1. Line an 8” cheesecake tin with greaseproof paper and pre-heat oven to 160*c,
    2. For the cake mix, place all the ingredients into a food processor and blitz well,
    3. Pour into the 8” cheesecake tin and bake for 45 minutes at 160*c until cooked. Insert a clean metal skewer or knife to check, if it comes out clean, it’s ready. It might “soufflé” near the top, and even a little over, but its fine, when it cools, it trims up quite easily.
    4. For the icing, cream the butter and sugar in an electric mixer or by hand.
    5. Incorporate the creamed cheese and mix well.
    6. Slowly add the melted white chocolate to taste, if using.
    7. When the cake is cool, carefully remove from the tin. Cover evenly with creamed cheese/white chocolate frosting.
    8. Refrigerate until the frosting is slightly set.
    Caramelised Oatmeal
    Ingredients:
    • 75g sugar
    • Water to dissolve
    • 35g Flahavan’s Jumbo oatmeal
    Method:
    1. Place the sugar in a small stainless steel saucepan
    2. Add just enough water to dissolve
    3. Cook on a gentle-medium heat until it starts to turn syrupy – it should still be clear
    4. Add the oatmeal to the pan and stir until the syrup is dissolved
    5. Transfer to a tray lined with greaseproof and spread evenly
    6. Place a clean stainless steel pan on a high heat
    7. Add the oatmeal and stir continuously. The sugars will begin to caramelize very quickly. When they are golden brown transfer to the tray lined with greaseproof immediately and separate as much as possible.
    8. Allow to cool – they should be nice and crisp.
    9. Sprinkle over top of frosted cake.
