Time to Cook
Prep: 15 minutes | Cook: 30 minutes | Total: 45 minutes | Difficulty: Easy | Make-Ahead: Yes, prepare the filling a day in advance.
Steps to Make It
- Preheat your oven to 350 °F. This ensures the crumble cooks evenly and gets that lovely golden color.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with lemon juice, erythritol, and cinnamon. Toss them well until the apples are evenly coated and glistening.
- Transfer the apple mixture to a greased 8-inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly so every bite gets that sweet, spiced flavor.
- In another bowl, mix together the almond flour, melted butter, and chopped nuts if using. Stir until it resembles coarse crumbs; this will be your crunchy topping.
- Sprinkle the almond flour mixture evenly over the apples. It should look like a cozy blanket of crunch, ready to bake.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is lightly golden. You’ll love the aroma wafting through your kitchen.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This helps the juices settle and makes it easier to serve.
- Scoop out portions and enjoy warm, perhaps with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of keto ice cream for an extra treat.
Make It Perfect
- For a more intense flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the apple mixture.
- If you want it sweeter, feel free to increase the sweetener a bit.
- Serve it warm for the best experience; the flavors meld beautifully.
Mix It Up
- Try adding a handful of blueberries for a mixed berry crumble.
- For a paleo version, substitute the sweetener with honey or maple syrup.
Perfect Partners
- Pair this crumble with a scoop of vanilla keto ice cream.
- Serve alongside a warm cup of spiced tea or coffee.
