Topping:
1 1/2 cups (350 mL) rolled oats
1/2 cup (125 mL) walnuts, finely chopped
1/3 cup (80 mL) turbinado, sucanat, or palm sugar
1/3 cup (80 mL) whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp (2 mL) cinnamon
1/4 tsp (1 mL) cardamom
5 Tbsp (75 mL) organic vegetable oil
Filling:
2 medium-sized apples, cored and sliced thinly
2 cups (500 mL) frozen wild blueberries
1/3 cup (80 mL) pure maple syrup
1/2 cup (125 mL) raisins or dried currants
2 Tbsp (30 mL) whole wheat flour
Juice from 1/2 lemon
1 Tbsp (15 mL) minced fresh ginger
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Combine oats, walnuts, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and cardamom in medium bowl. Drizzle with oil and stir until evenly moist. Add more oil if necessary.
In separate bowl, combine fruit, maple syrup, raisins, flour, lemon juice, and ginger, and mix well. Transfer fruit mixture to lightly greased 9 x 9 in (23 x 23 cm) cake pan or cast iron skillet and spread out evenly. Spread oat topping over fruit mixture.
Bake until topping is golden, about 50 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
