Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons pear concentrate/juice
- 2 tablespoons apple juice concentrate
- 20 oz Fresh strawberries sliced
- 2 tsp arrowroot
- 1 cup low fat plain yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mix the oats and flour in a bowl. Melt the butter with the apple and pear juice in a saucepan; stir into the bowl.
- Purée half the berries in a food processor; chop the rest. Mix the arrowroot with a little of the puree in a small saucepan, then add the rest of the purée. Heat gently until thickened, stirring, then stir in the chopped berries.
- Spread half the oat crumble mixture over the bottom of a 7-inch round shallow baking dish to form a layer at least 1/2 inch thick. Top with the strawberry mixture, then the remaining crumble, patting it down gently. Bake the crunch for 30 minutes. Serve warm or cold, alone or with low-fat yogurt.
