Apple berry crumble microwave magic

We tried this one out with Dave and Wyn last night - a warming winter dessert with mostly healthy ingredients. The ingredients are long-life, multipurpose items you can keep handy for anytime you suddenly want to whip up a warm dessert, and since it is cooked entirely in the microwave, no need to worry if your oven is dodgy or non-existent!

Step 1: Fruit base
Spread 400g canned pie apple over the base of a 20cm glass dish, then top with 1 cup frozen strawberries.

Step 2: Add creamy layer
In another bowl, pour 3/4 cup plain greek yoghurt, 1 tablespoon castor sugar, and 1 egg - mix together with a fork until just combined. Pour this mixture over the apple and berry dish, and microwave on medium for 6 minutes.

Step 3: Prepare crumbly layer
Combine 40g butter and 1 tablespoon honey, microwave on high for 1 min 30 sec (remember to cover the bowl so you don't end up with a splattered microwave).

Then, stir the following into the honey butter melt:
3/4 cup toasted muesli
2 tablespoons shredded coconut
2 tablespoons wholemeal self raising flour
1/4 cup slivered almonds

Microwave the crumbly layer on high for 1 minute 30 sec, stirring at the halfway point.

Step 4: Finishing touches
Let the crumbly layer stand for 5 minutes, then spread it over the fruity-creamy layer, then cook the whole concoction on high for 2 or 3 minutes until heated to your liking. Then enjoy!
