Apple & fresh date crumble

Another dessert which is quiet simple to make...

Ingredients
4 apples - peeled, cored, chopped
100g fresh dates - pitted, chopped
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
1 cinnamon stick
1/3 cup rolled oats
50g slivered almonds
2 tbs shredded coconut
Light cream(optional)

Method
Preheat oven to 180°C. Place apples, dates, orange juice and cinnamon stick in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer covered for 2 to 3 minutes or until just tender.
Discard the cinnamon stick and divide the mixture among 4 x 1/2 cup ovenproof dishes.
Combine oats, almonds and coconut. Sprinkle over the top and bake for 8-10 minutes.
Serve with cream if desired.

I hope I am not overdoing if I make 2 desserts! With desserts, can anyone overdo? I feel like trying this one out too... Caramel custard is traditional and this is a change;-)
Oops... I dont think I have coconut.. But does it matter?
