Coconut Flour Crumble
Coconut flour crumble has a grain-free crumble topping which is slightly sweet, slightly nutty and very delicious. Crumble made with coconut flour is high in fibre, and makes a healthy, satisfying dessert.
Equipment
- 20cm pie dish or 4 individual oven proof dishes
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil can also use butter
- 2 tablespoon honey or maple syrup or other liquid sweetener
- 75 g coconut flour
- 50 g ground almonds
- 500 g cooking apples or alternative fruit
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 150 degrees (130 fan).
- Melt the coconut oil over a very low heat, and stir in the honey or sweetener
- Stir together the coconut flour and ground almonds in a bowl. Tip in the melted oil mixture and stir well. The mixture will start to come together into a crumbly mixture. Set aside.
- Prepare the fruit filling. Peel the apples and cut into slices 3-4mm thick. Dust with cinnamon and place in an oven proof baking dish.
- Top the fruit with the coconut flour crumble topping. Spread it out with a spoon - it doesn't matter if there is a little fruit poking through.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 30 minutes, turning partway if necessary. Check that the fruit is soft by inserting a knife into the crumble.
Notes
- If you want a low carb crumble, use a low carb liquid sweetener and a low carb fruit such as berries
- For a vegan crumble, use maple syrup or sweetenerÂ
- Butter can be used in place of coconut oil if preferred. To reduce the saturated fat in the recipe, you can use light olive oil or walnut oil
- For extra crunch, add some chopped nuts or flaked almonds
- If you use dessert apples rather than cooking apples, precook them first. Place the prepared apples in a pan with a couple of tablespoons of water. Simmer gently for 10 minutes until starting to soften
- If using berries or peaches you'll end up with quite a lot of juice. Stir a tablespoon of ground almonds into the fruit to thicken the juices as they cook
