Apple Raspberry Crisp with Maple Oat Topping

This heart healthy recipe uses whole-wheat flour and oat bran - as a result it's a great source of fibre.  This recipe is delicious made with a variety of seasonal fruit.  Try locally grown peaches or pears in place of the apples, and blueberries or strawberries in place of the raspberries.

Tip: Double the recipe for the crumble topping and freeze half in a re-sealable freezer bag. The next time you want to make this recipe, all you have to do is slice the fruit and add the topping directly from the freezer!
