Gluten-free Apple Crumble

Apple crumble is a traditional family favorite and it's hard to tell that this version is gluten-free, grain-free, wheat-free as well as sugar-free!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup desiccated coconut
- 1 cup almonds
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ½ cup macadamia flour or flour of choice
- 1 cup gluten-free oats or add more coconut flour
- ¼ cup sweetener of choice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ½ cup butter
Filling
- 8 apples peeled and cut into chunks
- ¼ cup sweetener of choice to taste
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice (optional)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 large lemons - Juice
Instructions
Combine the apples, sweetener, and spices.
Mix till well blended.
Pour over the lemon juice and stir through.
Pour mixture into a greased baking dish (grease it with butter for an added great taste).
For the topping, combine the almonds and oats in a food processor.
Pulse till the nuts are roughly chopped.
Combine with the coconut, flour, and spices.
Rub in the butter until crumbly.
Sprinkle over the apple mixture.
Bake at 180C for 45-50 minutes until the apple is tender and the crumble golden brown.
Serve warm with whipped cream or ice-cream.
This makes a very large serving size which I portioned in 2.
The ideal sweet indulgence without the guilt.
