- 2 cup Apple and diced (granny smith or braeburn recommended), cored, peeled
- 1.5 tbsp Lemon Juice freshly squeezed; orange juice can be substituted
- 1 tbsp Cinnamon ground
- 1/2 tsp Nutmeg ground
- 1/2 tsp Cloves ground
- 1 tsp Allspice ground
- 1 tbsp Tapioca Starch
- 1/2 cup Raisins optional; organic preferred
- 1 tbsp Honey Or Maple Syrup optional, to taste
Crumble Topping
- 1 cup Almond Flour finely ground, or use 1 cup whole almonds
- 1 cup Rolled Oats
- 1/4 cup Butter cold, unsalted
- 2 tsp Cinnamon ground
- 1.5 tsp Salt sea salt preferred
- 1 tbsp Coconut Sugar or other sweetener to taste; optional
- 1 tbsp Sugar optional, adds extra depth of flavor, brown
Instructions
Prepare the Fruit Filling
- Combine the diced feijoas and apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, tapioca starch, raisins (if using), and honey or maple syrup (if using) in a large bowl. Mix gently to combine.
Assemble the Crumble
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a medium-sized baking dish.
- Pour the fruit filling into the prepared baking dish.
Make the Crumble Topping
- In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, rolled oats, cold butter, cinnamon, salt, coconut sugar, and brown sugar (if using). Use your fingertips or a pastry blender to rub the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Bake the Crumble
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit filling. Bake for 40-60 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Crumble
- For a crispier crumble topping, use a combination of almond flour and rolled oats. The oats add texture, while the almond flour contributes to a lovely nutty flavor.
- Don't overmix the crumble topping. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the oats and result in a tough topping.
- If your fruit is particularly juicy, you may want to increase the amount of tapioca starch to help thicken the filling. This will prevent a soggy bottom.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat.
