Instructions:

Preheat the oven:
Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes to ensure it is ready for baking. -
Prepare the apple filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples with the milk. In a separate small bowl, dissolve the corn flour in the milk and add it to the apples. Add a pinch of salt and the nutmeg powder. Toss everything together gently, ensuring the apples are evenly coated in the mixture. Set this aside to allow the flavors to meld. -
Make the crumble topping:
In another bowl, combine the muesli, whole wheat flour, and melted salted butter. Using your hands, crumble the mixture until it forms a coarse, breadcrumb-like texture. The butter should be evenly distributed to create a crispy, crumble topping. -
Assemble the apple crumble:
Take a ceramic baking dish or individual ramekins and layer the apple filling evenly at the bottom. Top the apples with the muesli crumble mixture, spreading it out to cover the apples completely. -
Bake the crumble:
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the crumble is golden brown and the apples are tender. -
Serve and enjoy:
Once baked, remove the apple crumble from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. This Low Fat Apple Crumble with Muesli is a perfect, guilt-free dessert to enjoy after a hearty meal, such as a Vegetarian Mexican Quesadilla.
This delightful dessert brings together the natural goodness of apples and whole grains, making it an ideal choice for those on a sugar-free or healthy diet.
