Apple Nut Crumble (or any stewed fruit)

It's late Autumn and getting colder so I threw together a crumble topping for the big pot of stewed apples I'd made. It worked really well - mostly luck as I ad libbed it.

Apples
: washed, cored, chopped small but not peeled, stewed with a cinnamon stick and 3 cloves, a few squeezes lemon juice and raw sugar. Add as little sugar as possible so it's sweet, but still a little tart. Simmer well until the skins are soft, about 30 min.
(Equivalent vol. of about 8 Granny Smith apples although half of mine were sweeter red-striped ones)

Crumble:
1.5 cups rolled oats
1.5 cups rolled oats blended to a coarse flour
4 Tbsp butter, cut up and rubbed in until the mix is a crumble

Then mix in
0.5 tsp salt
1 cup shredded dessicated coconut
0.75 cup chopped walnuts
0.75 cup brown sugar

Remember to get the cloves and cinnamon stick out! (or use powdered spices). Top the stewed apples with crumble and bake for 30 min at 180C (355F) with a foil cover. Then remove foil and give it a last few min uncovered. I had it with cream, also great with Greek yoghurt. Or ice-cream if you like it sweeter!

This made 5 crumble serves and used about 1/2 of the apples - I had the rest of the apples with yoghurt for a few breakfasts.

Mmm, that looks tasty. If I'm too lazy to buzz the rolled oats, do you think already-ground oat flour would be thick enough?
