Best ever Apple Crumble – Paleo compliant, no added sugar

When looking for healthier options of old favourites, I always look for recipes without any added sugars as generally there’s enough sweetness without them. This is one of my favourite recipes and if you try it I am sure you will agree that there is no need to add honey or any other sweeteners – credit to South Beach Primal.

Filling:

6 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped

½ cup coconut milk

2 tbsp coconut oil OR Grassfed butter, melted (plus extra for greasing the baking dish)

1 tbsp tapioca flour

1 tbsp cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg

Pinch of salt

Topping:

¾ cup sliced almonds

½ cup chopped pecans

¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes

¼ cup hazelnut meal, cashew flour (or any nut flour)

1 tbsp tapioca flour

1 tsp cinnamon

5 tbsp Grass fed butter, cold cubed

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a glass baking dish with butter and set aside.

Mix all of the filling ingredients together in a large bowl. In a separate smaller bowl mix together all of the topping ingredients. Use your hands to cut the butter evenly into the topping so it becomes crumbly.

Dump the wet apple filling into the greased baking dish and spoon the crumble nut topping evenly over the apples. It doesn’t have to be perfect, I think a rustic look works better.

Bake for about 45 minutes until bubbly and golden on top and serve warm or cold with coconut milk yogurt.
