I’ve been a bit gluten-free obsessed lately. I’ve come late to the trend, but I’m sure I’m having the most fun.
Apple crumble is such a great winter dessert, it seems so unfair to let people who exclude gluten from their diets miss out. So here’s what I’ve come up with. I must confess, that I think that it’s better than the Pear & Apple Crumble I posted a while back. The crumble does fall apart more than the original, so be careful when dishing up. Individual dishes may solve this problem.
I can’t trust my family’s opinion, as they will literally eat anything I make. So try it out and let me know in the comments below.
Filling:
4 medium apples
2 large pears
50g fruit cake mix
100g mascavado brown sugar
5ml cinnamon
4 cloves
60ml apple juice
30ml corn flour
Crumble:
125ml almond flour
125ml coconut flour
125ml mascovado sugar
5ml baking powder
3ml salt
50g finely chopped walnuts
50g roughly chopped walnuts
80ml desiccated coconut
125g butter (at room temperature)
Filling:
Peel and core the apples and pears. Cut into large chunks and place in a medium saucepan with the remaining filling ingredients.
Bring to the boil and simmer for about 8 minutes. Do not allow the fruit to begin getting mushy.
Spoon the fruit into a dish. Remove the cloves.
Crumble:
Combine all ingredients and rub in the butter until it is completely combined.
Crumble the topping over the prepared apples, take care to cover it completely.
Place the dish on a baking sheet to catch any juice from the apples that will bubble up.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Serve warm with coconut cream or custard.
