Currant crumble
Icelandic currants probably originally come from Norway and have been grown in Iceland since the end of the 19th century. They thrive well in gardens and are quite productive, with a harvest of up to 6-8 kg per bush per year. A special variety of red currants has been grown in Iceland since around 1830. It is a traditional, old variety of these berries that can now be found in this form or at least in this quantity almost only in Iceland.
Ingredients
150g butter
100g flour
50g oat flakes
150 g brown sugar
250 g red currants
2 apples
120 g chopped dates
2 Tbsp sugar
100 g planed Almonds
Preparation
Mix flour, oat flakes and sugar in a bowl.
Add the butter in small flakes and then knead with the dry ingredients to form crumbles.
Wash and pick the currants, wash the apples too, then peel and cut them into eighths. Chop the dates finely.
Mix the fruit, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar and place in an ovenproof glass dish.
Spread the streusel over the fruit mixture, sprinkle the slivered almonds on top...
...and let everything bake in a preheated oven at 350 °F (180 °C) for about 30 minutes until the top has turned light brown.
Serve the dessert warm with some Skyr on the side.
