Method
-
Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease eight 1-cup capacity baking dishes with melted butter. Put apple in a large saucepan and add water. Put over a high heat and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, for 5 minutes or until tender.
-
Add rhubarb, strawberry, vanilla and caster sugar to pan. Cook, covered, for 5 minutes. Spoon into prepared dishes.
-
To make crumble, put flour in a large bowl. Add extra butter and, using your fingers, rub into flour until combined and a coarse, crumbly mixture forms. Stir in brown sugar, coconut, oats and spices, then sprinkle mixture evenly over fruit.
-
Bake for 25 minutes or until top is golden and filling is bubbling. Serve with ice-cream, if desired.
