Blueberry and Apple Crumble Recipe

Blueberry and Apple Crumble

This easy Blueberry and Apple Crumble is made with blueberries, sliced apples, and a crispy brown sugar oat topping. The perfect easy dessert for fall or any time of year!

Ingredients

To make this recipe, you will need the following ingredients: blueberries, apples, lemon juice and zest, honey, cornstarch, cinnamon, whole wheat flour, uncooked rolled oats, light brown sugar, butter, and salt.

How to Make this Blueberry and Apple Crumble

1. Heat oven to 375F degrees. Next, combine apples, blueberries, honey, cinnamon, lemon juice and zest in large bowl. Sprinkle with cornstarch and toss until fruit is coated. Place fruit filling in an ungreased dish. I used a 9×13-inch baking dish (a similar size pie dish or square baking dish will work too).

2. For the crumble topping, combine whole wheat flour, uncooked rolled oats, light brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and salt in the same bowl. Sprinkle the oat crumble topping over fruit.

3. Finally, bake about 40 – 45 minutes or until topping is golden brown and fruit is tender.

Apples are a nutritional powerhouse, offering a wide range of health benefits. They are packed with fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, promoting digestive health, reducing the risk of chronic diseases, and boosting overall well-being. Enjoying this delicious fruit is a tasty way to enhance our health.

I used Granny Smith apples in this blueberry apple crumble recipe. But here are other great apples for baking :

Golden Delicious, Fuji, SweeTango, Honeycrisp, Jonagold, and/or Pink Lady.

Blueberries have exceptional health benefits as well. These tiny, vibrant berries are loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber, making them a nutritional powerhouse. Consuming blueberries can enhance brain function, protect against oxidative stress, and improve heart health. Their anti-inflammatory properties may also reduce the risk of chronic diseases and support healthy aging.

I like to use fresh blueberries for this apple blueberry crumble recipe but frozen blueberries can also work.

Chicken Soup with Cabbage

Chicken Soup with Cabbage

This Chicken Soup with Cabbage is a one pot dish that is full of flavor, healthy, and so easy to make.  If you love soups, you need to try this soup recipe. It is so satisfying and tastes incredible.

Gather all Ingredients

To make this recipe, you will need the following ingredients: cabbage, fresh kale, skinless and boneless chicken thighs, onion, carrots, celery, russet potatoes, chicken stock (or chicken broth), water, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, fresh parsley, and peas.

Ingredients for this recipe

Almost any chicken soup is a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. Cabbage, kale, onion, carrots, and celery are low in calories but packed with essential nutrients, vitamins, and dietary fiber. When combined, these ingredients provide a wide range of nutrients that support overall health.

Cooking time
I recommend to cook this soup for about 45-55 minutes.  This is the optimal time for the chicken and vegetables to become tender and to allow all the flavors to fully develop. 

This chicken cabbage soup recipe can be a gluten free option. If you use gluten free chicken broth or stock, the soup should be suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivity.

Chicken is a common and essential ingredient in many soup recipes. Chicken adds flavor, protein, and substance. You can use chicken pieces (such as thighs, chicken breast, or drumsticks) or the whole chicken. In addition, rotisserie chicken from the store or leftover cooked chicken are also very convenient options. Simply shred the cooked chicken meat and add it to your soup toward the end of the cooking process.

Many chicken soup recipes start by sautéing onions, carrots, and celery in a bit of olive oil or other cooking fat. I don’t use any cooking oil or fat for this soup. I use quality ingredients and seasonings and prefer to make a lower fat meal that is still flavorful and nutritious. To make this Chicken Soup with Cabbage recipe even healthier, I also prefer low sodium chicken broth or chicken stock.

Chicken Soup with Cabbage

How to make Chicken Soup with Cabbage:

  1. Simmer soup and prepare chicken

    Add water, chicken stock, onion, celery, chicken, salt, and black pepper to a pot.  Bring to a boil and let simmer for 30 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot and shred it using 2 forks.

  2. Add everything else and simmer. You are done. Yummy!

    Add potatoes, garlic powder, dried oregano, and carrots to the pot.  Bring to a boil and simmer the pot over medium heat for about 15 minutes. Add shredded chicken, cabbage, kale, and parsley to the soup and simmer another 5 –  10 minutes.  Try and season with salt and black pepper to taste.  Stir in peas and enjoy!

Chicken Soup with Cabbage: Common Questions

Chicken stock or chicken broth?

Whether you choose chicken stock or chicken broth depends on your flavor preferences. Chicken Stock is typically made by simmering chicken bones (often with meat) along with vegetables, herbs, and spices. It tends to have a richer and more pronounced chicken flavor because of the bones. Chicken stock has more intense, savory, and slightly gelatinous quality. Chicken Broth is made by simmering chicken meat (often with a little bone) along with vegetables, herbs, and spices. It usually has a milder chicken flavor compared to stock.

Is Chicken Soup with Cabbage a healthy dish?

Yes, Chicken Soup with Cabbage is generally considered a healthy dish. It provides protein from the chicken, vitamins and fiber from the cabbage, and additional nutrients from other vegetables.

Tuna Melt Wrap

Tuna Melt Wrap

If you’re looking for easy lunch or dinner recipes, look no further than this delicious Tuna Melt Wrap. I love its simplicity, customization, and comforting taste.

Gather all Ingredients

To make this easy recipe, you will need the following ingredients: tuna, mayo, celery, dill pickles (or pickle relish), red onion, herbs, salt, black pepper, whole wheat tortilla wraps (any flour tortillas will work), spinach, bell pepper, and cheddar cheese.

Ingredients

You can customize this recipe to tailor the wrap to your personal preferences and experiment with different flavors and ingredients. For example, you can add dijon mustard, lemon juice, and/or your favorite fresh herbs to the tuna salad. The Tuna Melt Wrap can also include additional vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, or avocado for extra flavor.

While cheddar, Swiss, American, and provolone are common choices, you can get creative with your cheese. Sometimes, I like using pepper jack for some heat or a creamy brie for a luxurious twist.

How to make Tuna Melt Wrap:

  1. Add the Tuna Salad ingredients to a medium bowl and mix

    Drain the liquid from the canned tuna can. Then, add the tuna, mayonnaise, diced celery, diced red onion, herbs, dill pickles, salt and pepper to a medium bowl. Stir all of the ingredients together until well combined.

  2. Assemble the wraps

    In the centre of each whole wheat tortilla wrap arrange some spinach in a vertical line. Spoon 1/3 of the tuna mixture on top of the spinach, add bell pepper slices and cover everything with grated  cheese. Next, fold the top and bottom of the tortilla over the filling.

  3. Cook and enjoy!

    Brush a griddle pan (or a non-stick frying pan) with a little oil and heat on medium-high. Add the tuna melt wraps and fry for 2-3 minutes (until the bottom crisps up), then turn and cook on the other side for another 2 -3 minutes.

Tuna Melts are relatively easy to prepare. Canned tuna is readily available and has a long shelf life, making it a convenient ingredient to have on hand. The assembly and cooking process is straightforward, and there are several cooking methods you can use to make them. Three common methods are stovetop (skillet or griddle), in the oven, or air fryer. This recipe is using a stovetop and griddle pan.

Make ahead

You can make the tuna salad ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Once you are ready to make your wraps, remove the tuna salad from the refrigerator, stir, and follow the recipe.

Tuna Melt Wrap: Common Questions

Can I use fresh tuna instead of canned tuna?

Yes, you can use fresh tuna if you prefer. Cook and flake the tuna before making the tuna salad.

Can I use any type of tortilla for a Tuna Melt Wrap?

Yes, you can use various types of tortillas, such as flour, whole wheat, or spinach tortillas, depending on your preference.

What kind of cheese is best for a Tuna Melt Wrap?

Common choices include cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella. The cheese should melt well and complement the flavor of the tuna.
