Apple Berry Crumble | PALEO

I know I've been bugging you all lately on Instagram & Facebook with several requests for your feedback & input...  I hope that's okay!  I just truly value the opinions of each of you who are reading my blog.  

Because as much as all of my recipes make me happy... I already have the recipes!  So I want to make sure I'm putting out what you want to see, when you want to see it.  So, by popular demand, the next recipe I have to share is this "Apple Berry Crumble".

It's the perfect way to get your "pie fix" without giving your stomach a pie fix... if you know what I mean.  Like it tastes delicious and warm & bad for you just like a good pie should... but it's not.  :)

I kept the filling simple with plain ol' apples & berries, then topped it with a quick & easy crumble topping that gives it that sweet pie crust vibe we all love.

I hope you enjoy this simple & delicious dessert as much as we have.  Our first one lasted less than 24 hours (dessert & breakfast!)  :D

Ingredients:
For the filling~

• 3 medium-large apples, peeled and thinly sliced (I used "Pink Lady" apples)
• 1 heaping cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)

For the topping~

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/4 cup coconut sugar
• 4 Tbsp coconut oil, butter, or ghee, softened
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• pinch of salt
• extra fat for greasing the dish

Tools:

• mixing bowl
• 9 x 9" baking dish
• aluminum foil

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF.  Grease your 9 x 9" baking dish with whatever fat you're using to prevent sticking.
2. Peel & slice the apples, and toss them into the baking dish.  Stir in a heaping cup of mixed berries.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the topping ingredients.  Sprinkle over top of the filling, lightly pressing down into an even layer.
4. Transfer to the oven, and bake for 20 minutes covered with foil.  Remove the foil, and continue baking for 25-30 minutes, uncovered, until the top is lightly browned and apples are soft.
5. Let sit for about 10 minutes & serve warm.
