If there is some mincemeat left over from Christmas, try this crumble topping.

100g (4oz) rolled oats or oatmeal

50g butter (2 oz) or margarine

2 generous tablespoons mincemeat

Peeled and sliced cooking apples

Rub the butter into the oatmeal and stir in the mincemeat. Spoon the crumble mix over apples, or a mixture of partly cooked fruit and bake until golden brown.
