Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 170°C fan bake. Line an 18 x 27cm slice tin with baking paper.
  2. Melt the butter in a large glass bowl. Add the vanilla, egg, and sugar, then whisk to combine.

  5. Spread the diced apple over the base, then spoon over the feijoa flesh evenly.
Topping
  1. Add the rolled oats and extra melted butter to the reserved mixture and mix until crumbly.
  2. Crumble the topping over the fruit and gently press down.
Baking
  1. Bake for 45–50 minutes until golden on top and cooked through.
  2. Allow to cool completely in the tin before slicing.
Serving
  1. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or at room temperature.
