An extremely satisfying dessert that makes a great breakfast too. Be warned, it may be an overly generous sized portion (maybe) – but I like my food.
And I love desserts.
This is a simple, healthy recipe made with real apples (not canned), blueberries and a delicious peanut crumble. You can prep it, freeze it and bake it when you need it – or you could be spooning it in your mouth in the next 30 minutes.
Any leftovers (pfft, I know, right? who has leftover dessert in their house?) can be kept in the fridge and eaten cold the next morning with a little bit of fresh cream. Maybe keep two aside just for the morning.
How to Make Clean Eating Apple Berry Crumble
Ingredients
Apple Filling
- 4 x Medium sized apples
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 x tablespoon maple syrup (this is optional. I use granny smith apples, which are a little tart. The maple syrup adds a bit more sweetness which I like)
- 1 x tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (this stops your apples turning that unattractive brown colour before you get to cooking them)
- 1 x teaspoon cinnamon
Apple Crumble
- 4 x tablespoons Oats
- 2 x tablespoons Almond Flour
- 1 and a 1/2 x tablespoons Peanut butter
- 1 and a 1/2 tablespoons of Coconut sugar (this can be substituted for regular raw brown sugar)
Instructions
- Peel, core and slice your apples. I LOVE my apple slinky machine. Still one of my favorite kitchen tools. It does the job in under a minute.
- In a Saucepan: Add apple filling ingredients (apples, blueberries, cinnamon, maple syrup lemon). Simmer on medium heat for 10 minutes with the lid on. This will soften the apples. If you like a softer apple texture, then simmer for additional 3- 5 minutes. Keep an eye on the pot to make sure the moisture doesn’t evaporate too much. You don’t want your apple filling too dry.
- In a Mixing Bowl: Mix your apple crumble (oats, almond flour, peanut butter and sugar).
- Divide your apple filling between four ramikins.
- Spoon the crumble on top of each.
- Place your ramekins on a baking tray and bake @ 350F (180C or 160C fan forced) for 15 minutes.
- Serve with fresh cream (or coconut cream)
RECIPE NOTES & SUBSTITUTIONS
-
- Peanut Butter – if you’d prefer to skip the peanut taste, or have an allergy to peanuts, you can substitute for equal amounts of almond butter or regular butter.
- Apples – any apple will do, however, the sweeter the apple to start, the sweeter the end result.
- Family Sized Pie – You can make this in an pie dish to make one family sized pie instead of 4 individual portions. But, you will need to DOUBLE up the crumble otherwise your pie will look a little naked. Cooking times remain the same.
