Apple crumble

Recipes Baking Easter Christmas Vegan Sugar-free

I find apple crumble a lovely way to end the evening. The rich, warming flavours of apple combined with cinnamon have a homely feel. Besides being perfect comfort food for a cold autumn or winter day, it also makes a beautiful Christmas dessert. This gluten-free apple crumble is easy and quick to make, and it’s a nice sugar-free option for a festive Christmas meal.

Ingredients

200 g oat flour (or another gluten-free flour, e.g. almond flour)
100 g coconut oil (melted)
4 sweet apples
30 g raisins
2 teaspoons cinnamon
juice of half a lemon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
pinch of salt

Apple crumble

Preheat the oven to 175°C
Peel the apples and cut them into small cubes. Add the raisins, lemon juice, cinnamon and ginger, and toss together.
Make a dough from the oat flour, coconut oil and salt.
Divide the apple mixture between 4 smaller ovenproof dishes or a small springform pan. Crumble the dough over the top. If you like, brush the dough with a little egg yolk.
Bake for about 25-35 minutes until the dough is cooked. Enjoy!

This apple crumble is gluten-free and made with coconut oil, making it a lighter version of the classic recipe. The combination of cinnamon and ginger gives the crumble a wonderfully warm and spicy aroma. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a spoonful of coconut yoghurt.

You can replace the apples with pears or use a combination of both. Optionally add some chopped walnuts to the dough for extra crunch. The crumble is also great to prepare ahead: make the mixture in advance and keep it chilled until you pop it in the oven.
