A little about this dish

This innovative dessert fuses American tradition with a surprising guest – broccoli! Prepared with a sweet twist, broccoli serves as an exciting ingredient that elevates our dessert to a gourmet, yet approachable level. Bonus? It's a great way to sneak in some greens!

Ingredients (for 2)

1 stalk broccoli — 1 cup — steamed and finely chopped
1 granny smith apple — 1 — peeled and finely chopped
Granulated sugar — 1/3 cup
Cornstarch — 2 teaspoons
Ground cinnamon — 1/2 teaspoon — plus extra for whip
Old-fashioned oats — 1 cup
Brown sugar — 1/3 cup
Unsalted butter — 1/4 cup — softened
Whipped cream — 1/2
Vanilla extract — 1/2 teaspoon
Salt — a pinch

Preparation

Step 1 — 🔥🌡️⏲️

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Step 2 — 🥦🍏🥣🧂

In a bowl, combine chopped broccoli, apple, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon.
Step 3 — 🥣🌾🧈🧂

In another bowl, mix oats, brown sugar, softened butter, and a pinch of salt for the crumble layer.
Step 4 — 🥦🍏🥣👩‍🍳🔥

Divide the broccoli apple mixture between two dessert dishes. Top each with the oat mixture. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crumble layer is golden and the mixture is bubbling.
Step 5 — 🥛💨🧂

While the crumble is baking, whip the cream until soft peaks form, add a sprinkle of cinnamon and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Step 6 — 🍨🍏👩‍🍳

Let the crumble cool slightly, then top with the cinnamon whip just before serving.

A final fox tip

Swap out the apples for other seasonal fruits if desired, or add a handful of chopped nuts to the crumble for extra texture! This dessert may also be made vegan by using coconut oil instead of butter and coconut cream for the whip.
