Trudy - I finally got around to making this yesterday.  Would you believe it's nearly all gone!!!!  My Husband loved it. Thanks for posting it.

Brumington - I made this today to use up some shop bought jam and apart from the HUGE mess my children make eating it (the crumble is very crumbly!) I really liked it.  My oldest wasn't as keen but he's not a fan of anything too sweet so ate all the topping and left the sweet jam.  Next time I make this I might gently push the topping down a bit in the hope it wont be as crumbly.  I wonder how yummy this would be made with nutella instead of jam? Might have to experiment.

Tips/Hints:
Oldie, but a goldie. You could combine the topping in the TM but it is probably quicker to do in a separate bowl, as it only takes about 30 seconds to mix by hand.

Thanks CP - are you starting to feel a little less guilty?

My family love this and yet tell me they hate coconut They seem to think it's something done with egg whites I will not be enlightening them.
I once got into BIG trouble from a Mum at school for telling her child what parsnips were. She had been eating them for years as white carrots, but would not eat them as parsnips. Fair enough. I was more careful after that.
Great conversion-thanks

For years my kids would tell anyone who would listen that they never ate tomatoes!  I'm not sure what they thought made all that lasagne and spag bog that I made them so red!!

My Mum presented me with something crumbed for lunch one day - she said they were chicken strips. One bite told me they weren't - she had tried to con me into eating tripe but it didn't work.  I don't eat leather.  I was in my 40's at the time - I think well over the  time age she should have been trying to force feed me

I have fooled people with tripe -but lonnnnnnngggg sloooooow cooking, and not crumbed. 

Love your Mum trying it when you were 40  .  Hope you ate all your vegies so you could get dessert?

No still feel guilty, I have a lovely Fruit and Nut Slice that I want to convert, and a few more things and then I will breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Nutella, what a great Idea.  Will have to try that one for DS.
