Apple Crumble

Topping Ingredients:

½ Cup finely ground almond flour

¼ cup maple syrup or coconut sugar

Pinch sea salt

¼ – ½ t ground cinnamon

¼ – ½ t ground ginger

5 T chilled butter or coconut oil (cut into small pieces)

⅓ cup pecans

⅓ cup almonds

½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes

 

Add the first 5 ingredients to a blender and blend well. 

Add chilled butter/coconut oil and blitz 6 – 7 x or when mixture has a coarse texture

Add nuts and coconut flakes and blitz for a couple of seconds or until it’s been chopped up a little… you are still wanting a crunchy texture. Put in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. 

 

Apple filling:

 

3- 4 apples, peeled, sliced into thin wedges

2 T maple syrup or coconut sugar

2 t tapioca starch

½ – 1 t ground cinnamon

2 t finely grated lemon zest

2 T lemon juice

 

Mix all together and lay out in a baking dish. 

Cover with the crumble mixture

Bake in a preheated oven 180 degrees C for 35- 40 minutes or until the apples have softened and the topping is slightly browned. 

Cool for at least 10 minutes and serve warm with whipped cream (or coconut cream) or ice cream.
