| Paleo Hot Apple Crumble I am excited that it is officially Spring! Flowers, Easter, warmer weather, fresh leaves and blossoms on trees, sunshine, weddings, prom...basically as a photographer, my dream season! But the other day I was craving a very Autumn-like recipe. Possibly, the reason for this is that it is still cold outside and I like to have warm desserts on cold days. So I made a paleo version of hot apple crumble that my family can eat. Due to different health problems for everyone, paleo is the eating lifestyle we've chosen to follow. Whether you eat Paleo or not, I consider this recipe to be just as good if not more so than your regular apple crumble. Enjoy! |
Paleo Hot Apple Crumble
 |
| Ingredients |
- 1.5 cup almond flour (to make: grind sliced almonds in food processor)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup coconut palm sugar plus 1 tbsp (for non paleo version use brown sugar)
- 1 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp cold coconut oil (non paleo-use butter)
- 2 tbsp milk of choice
- 2 cups peeled, chopped apple (8oz)
- 2 tsp arrowroot ( or cornstarch)
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup (or agave) 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Stir together the first eight ingredients, mixing very well and mashing with a fork. Scoop 2/3 of the dough into a 4×7, oiled glass dish (or any small pan), and press down firmly. In a separate bowl, stir together the other ingredients. Layer them into the pan, then top with the rest of the dough from the first pan and press down a bit. Bake for 40 minutes at 350 F, then cool at least 30 minutes before serving.
I thought I would include some pictures from last year, during the apple season, since they kind of go with my theme here. Below is my sister, Nan and my niece, Ela picking apples.
For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies;
For the love which from our birth,
Over and around us lies;
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This, our hymn of grateful praise.
For the wonder of each hour,
Of the day and of the night;
Hill and vale and tree and flow'r,
Sun and moon, and stars of light;
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This, our hymn of grateful praise.
