Cheap and cheerful fruit crumble

Written by Andrea on October 26th, 2009

A bit of a strange one this as it involves Weetabix, which is fine, except it makes the whole crumble taste like…well Weetabix! However, it’s  cheap, easy to make, satisfies sugar cravings and makes great comfort food on a cold winters evening.

DSC00387 (1) 2 cans of fruit of your choice. (I used prunes and  pears..weird but nice)

4 Weetabix. Sainsbury’s basic 75p per box

500g Porridge oats

4 Tbsp brown sugar

1tsp mixed spice

100g melted butter

Place the fruit in an oven proof dish

Crumble the weetabix and add to the porridge oats, melted butter, sugar and spice and sprinkle over the fruit.

Dot with butter and place in the oven at 190 degrees/ gas mark 5 for 15 minutes.

I serve it with custard or Greek yoghurt..tastes yum and the kids love it!

The whole dish would cost around £1.50 to make depending on what fruit is used.
