Ingredients

Oaty crumble topping

1 1/2 tablespoon butter

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup rolled oats

125 gram butter

1 cup parsnip, peeled and grated

2 medium apples, unpeeled and grated

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 1/2 cup plain flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon allspice

Method

1.Preheat oven to 180°C.

2.Grease a loaf pan approximately 22cm x 12cm and line with a strip of baking paper, placing it across the middle of the pan with a little hanging over each side (this makes it very easy to remove the loaf from the pan after baking).

3.Prepare topping first. Melt butter in a small bowl, add the sugar, cinnamon and oats and mix well. Set aside.

4.To make the loaf, place butter in a large pan and heat gently until melted. Remove from heat and add grated parsnip and apple, sugar and egg and mix well.

5.Sift together the flour, baking soda, spices and a pinch of salt and fold into wet ingredients to form a batter.

6.Pour batter into tin and sprinkle topping over it. Bake for 50-60 minutes until loaf is springy when gently pressed in the middle and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.

7.Cool for a few minutes in the tin then use the overhanging baking-paper ‘handles’ to lift the loaf from the tin. Discard paper and continue cooling the loaf on a rack. Serve in slices.
