What to Do to Make the Rooibos Syrup

• Simmer the water, sugar, and 2 rooibos teabags in a small pot until all of the sugar is properly dissolved. This should be done on low to medium heat at a simmer, not a boil.
• Once the sugar has dissolved, increase the temperature to medium heat and boil for 10 to 15 minutes until it forms a syrupy texture.
• Strain the syrup into a jug and allow it to cool before using.

 

What to Do to Make the Apple Filling

• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and ensure that it reaches the correct temperature before starting the baking process.
• Grease a medium sized baking pan or dish.
• Add the apple pieces, lemon juice, cinnamon and rooibos syrup to the baking pan and combine well.Make sure that the apple pieces cover the entire bottom of the baking pan.

 

What to Do to Make the Crumble

• Gently combine the sugar, cinnamon, flour and melted butter in a large bowl. Don’t over-do it.
• Break up the rusks into small chunks and mix them into the crumble mixture.
• Spoon the crumble mixture over the layer of apples in the baking pan, making sure that there are no spots left open.
• Pop the baking pan into the oven and bake for around 40 minutes until it is golden crispy and the apples are soft.
• Last but not least, serve the dish and thoroughly enjoy gobbling it down.

This delectable dessert is best served in a bowl while still piping hot with a extra large dollop of almond milk ice-cream or a splash of icy-cold coconut milk or cream. While most prefer to much it down while hot, many people still enjoy the dessert when it’s cold.
