Apple Crumble is a quick to make dessert for party, potluck or just to indulge as is. Served warm as is or with a scoop of ice cream!
Fruits are fibre rich and most of them are high in Sugar themselves. While I mentioned that we prefer eating the fruits whole, here’s a simple , no brainer yet yummy recipe that’s great for potlucks and also for those who crave for a dessert, but are watching their weight…
Apple Crumble with Almond Flour & No-sugar-added Muesli Topping. Perfect, light and very mild sugar : just what the doctor ordered after an appetizing meal. I made this single serve as we prefer it that way. You can make this in a large baking tray as well. And for those in love with Apple and Cinnamon (me , me , me :-)) this is like heaven calling out to you…
If you prefer to make it totally grain free as the original version did, skip the muesli / Oats entirely and use just almond flour. Adapted from here and here, I made my own little variations. Serving this with Vanilla Ice Cream is totally optional, although the kids loved it that way:-)
We totally love quick desserts that are fuss free, can be made ahead making clean up and serving a breeze and this was one such dessert that the entire family loved.

How to make Apple Crumble:

- Dry roast muesli and nuts for 1-2 mins till they turn warm, lightly powder them in a spice grinder and keep aside.
