Serves: 8 | Prep time: 15 minutes | Cooking time: 55 minutes

Ingredients for the filling

6 (850 g) nectarines, cut into wedges
1 tablespoon golden syrup
125 g punnet raspberries
⅔ cup reduced fat plain Greek yoghurt, to serve

Ingredients for the crumble

⅓ cup wholemeal plain flour
⅓ cup quick oats
⅓ cup flaked almonds
2 tablespoons raw sugar
2 teaspoons ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon golden syrup

Method

1. Cut nectarines into quarters, remove stones. Place over base of a large shallow ovenproof dish. Drizzle with golden syrup. Cover with foil. Bake in 180 °C oven (fan-forced) for 35 minutes, or until fruit is tender when tested with the tip of a sharp knife.

2. Meanwhile, to make crumble, place all ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir until well combined and crumbly.

3. Remove foil covering from baked nectarines. Scatter over raspberries and sprinkle with crumble. Return to oven for 15-20 minutes or until crumble is golden brown.

4. Serve warm with yoghurt.

Tips

Nectarines can be replaced with peaches or plums, or try using a combination of stone fruits.
Swap in blueberries or blackberries for raspberries, if preferred.
For a shortcut, replace fresh fruit with an 800 g can peach halves (drained) and 1 cup frozen raspberries. Place fruit in ovenproof, drizzle with golden syrup and sprinkle directly with crumble topping (skipping baking in step 1). Bake as directed in step 3.
