Equipment

8-inch Baking Pan

Ingredients

Apple Filling:

4 cups apples peeled, cored and sliced*
5 Tbsp water
3 Tbsp pure maple syrup
2 tsp tapioca flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp sea salt

Crumble Topping:

1 1/2 cups finely ground almond flour
3 Tbsp coconut oil melted
3 Tbsp pure maple syrup
1/2 tsp almond extract optional
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

Prepare the Apple Filling:

Heat all ingredients for the filling in a saucepan over medium heat, covered. Bring to a full boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples begin to soften, about 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Prepare the Crumble Topping:

While the apples are cooking on the stove top, prepare the crumble topping. Add all ingredients for the topping to a small bowl and stir well until combined. Set aside until ready to use.

Prepare the Crumble:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Transfer the cooked apples to an 8” x 8” baking dish or small casserole dish.
Evenly spread the crumble topping over the apples. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until crumble topping is golden brown and crispy.
Serve crumble with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Notes

*I use gala apples, but you can use any type of apples. Granny smiths, pink lady, honey crisp apples, and fuji apples are all great options.
