Apple and Cranberry Crumble in the ActiFry

Eating healthy and maintaining a healthy diet is very important in our lives, that does not mean that we give up eating all the foods that we enjoy eating. It is rather about cooking the foods we love in a healthier way and eating more fresh vegetables, incorporating fibres into our diet and reducing the amount of processed and junk food we eat.You can enjoy a really healthy meal that is low in fat and cooked to perfection using Tefal ActiFry. All you need is one spoon of oil and the ActiFry to cook chips, curries, stews, stir fries and desserts.
The ActiFry works on a patented hot air pulse system and consists of a stirring paddle which rotates the food to assist in cooking. The fryer is easy to clean as the centre cooking pan and paddle are removable and are dishwasher safe. The ActiFry has a digital timer which is easy to set and use.


The ActiFry is versatile and you can cook simple chips, potato wedges, curries, risotto to jams and desserts. It is available in various sizes so it can be useful for a couple or for a family too. 

The ActiFry I have is the 1 kg capacity and it’s perfect for a family of four .For more details of dimensions and product details click here.
I am really enjoying cooking and experimenting in my Actifry and I will share some of my recipes here each week.



I tried this simple Apple crumble recipe in my ActiFry and it was delicious and healthy too.

  6. Interesting product. The recipe looks delish, though I'd have to find a replacement for the wheat, since I only eat gluten-free. Any suggestions? Also, I'm not sure what the plus is on using the ActiFry. Quicker?

    1. Beth you can replace the shredded wheat with organic oats, just toast them slightly in a dry pan and follow recipe.

  10. Sounds like a much healthier and cleaner alternative to doing it on the stove-top. Btw, I love the way your crumble is presented. Here in Canada apple crumble is known as apple crisp, while crisps are called chips, chips are fries... *throws up hands in exasperation*

  11. Wow, fried crumble - sounds divine! This looks like a healthier way to cook some of the more indulgent foods.
