Ingredients

Scale

Topping

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 3/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar (not packed)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • 6 tablespoons coconut oil (solid)

Filling

  • 2 pounds apples (about 6 cups peeled and chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Make topping: In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, sliced almonds, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and baking powder. Stir until evenly mixed.
  2. Add coconut oil: Add the solid coconut oil to the almond flour mixture. Using the back of a spoon, mix well until the almond flour is evenly coated with the oil, creating a crumbly texture.
  3. Chill the topping: Place the bowl with the topping mixture in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling. This helps the coconut oil solidify, ensuring a crunchier topping after baking.
  4. Preheat oven and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly spray an 8 or 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  5. Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and chop the apples into approximately ½-inch chunks. Transfer them into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Season the apples: Add lemon juice, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the apples. Toss gently to evenly coat all apple pieces.
  7. Assemble crumble: Spread the chilled crumble topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish. Use your fingers to crumble it evenly if necessary, achieving a crumbly texture.
  8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping turns deep golden brown and the apples are soft and bubbly.
  9. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the apple crumble to cool for about 15 minutes before serving to let the filling settle.
  10. Serving suggestion: Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of sweetened Greek yogurt for a delicious contrast.

Notes

  • To ensure the topping is crunchy, chilling the crumble mixture before baking is essential.
  • You can substitute apples with pears or a mix of both for a different flavor.
  • For vegan option, use vegan-friendly ice cream or yogurt as topping.
  • Make sure the coconut oil is solid—not melted—to achieve the best crumble texture.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
