Ingredients

Filling:

  • 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 2 Honeycrisp apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoon dried cranberries, softened, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon demerara sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ginger powder

Topping:

  • 115 g hazelnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
  • 120 g almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon rice flour, optional
  • 4 tablespoon demerara sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 4 tablespoon coconut butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F/180 C.
  • In a large bowl, mix sliced apples, cranberries, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger powder. Distribute the mixture evenly in a medium baking dish.
  • In the bowl previously used, mix together chopped hazelnuts, almond flour, rice flour (if using), demerara sugar, cinnamon, salt and coconut butter. If the mixture looks too wet add in 1 tablespoon of rice flour.
  • Distribute the topping mixture evenly all over the apple filling.
  • Place the apple crisp in the oven, and bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until the apple filling is soft and the topping is crunchy and golden-brown. If the top browns too quickly, cover with foil and continue to bake. 
  • Once ready, remove the apple crumble from the oven and allow to cool before serving.

Notes

Crumble variations: 
  • You can choose any apple variety, as long as it has a firm and crisp texture, and a slightly tart flavour. I like to use a combination of Honeycrisp and Granny Smith apples
  • You may use only hazelnuts or substitute half the amount with almond flakes, pecan nuts, walnuts or pistachio.
