Place butter, 1/4 cup of sugar and lemon juice in a pan and heat gently until sugar is melted. Peel, core and quarter the apples. Cut each quarter cross-wise into four pieces. Add apple to pan and cook gently until apples are just barely tender. Add strawberries and very gently cook for 5 minutes. Tip fruit mixture into an oven-proof dish. Place flour, ground almonds and baking powder into a bowl. Mix around a little to distribute the baking powder evenly. Rub in the butter until mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Add sugar and flaked almonds to this mixture and combine well. Tip this crumbly mixture onto the fruit but don't compact it and cook at 180 degrees for 25 minutes till golden on top. Serves 6 Notes:I use whatever eating apples are in the pantry. You don't have to use green cooking apples. Serve with icecream, custard or whipped cream. Personally I make custard using skimmed milk then it is more healthy. Food Facts:Almonds date back to the Old Testament and they are part of the cherry, plum and peach family. Almonds are a good source of vegetable protein and they are highly suitable for vegetarians and vegans. They are considered to decrease coronary heart disease risk factors. They help lower the bad cholesterol, LDL. They have a high content of minerals, magnesium, potassium, phosphorous and calcium. A medium apple has about 80 calories. 25% of an apple's volume is
air - that is why they float. Apples cleanse and purify the blood and the liver. They are
a good source of vitamin C and fibre. Remember your Gran's old
saying "An apple a day keeps the doctor away". Well it's
pretty good advice. Remember to eat the skin if you want to maximize the fibre. Eating an apple decreases the chances of
tooth cavities by cleaning the teeth and massaging the gums.
