2. You can sub the rice flour for another flour of your choice.

1. Preheat the oven to 180C.
2. Boil the dates in hot water for about 10 minutes until soft and mash them to form a paste.
3. Add the coconut oil and maple syrup to the date paste and give a good stir.
4. Combine the rice flour, whey, oats and cinnamon in a bowl before adding to the date-mix.
5. Stir to form a crumble topping with breadcrumb consistency. Don't be afraid to use your hands.
6. Place the apples and berries in a deep-lined oven-proof dish and add a sprinkling of maple syrup.
7. Pour over the crumble topping and distribute evenly across the top of the fruit.
8. Place in the oven for about 30 minutes to allow the fruit to cook through and the crumble topping to crisp up.
9. Enjoy hot or cold.
