Prep Time2 minutes
Cook Time8 minutes
Total Time10 minutes
Servings: 1 apple crumble

Ingredients

For Filling:

  • 1 apple chopped into chunks
  • 1 tablespoon butter or ghee
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

For Topping:

  • 1 tablespoon butter or ghee
  • 6 almonds chopped finely
  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
  • 2 teaspoons coconut flour or enough to thicken the topping into a crumble
  • 1 teaspoon sweetener of choice honey, maple syrup and erythritol all work well. Also, you could use several drops of stevia instead, if you prefer.

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Once melted, toss in apple chunks and cook covered until soft. Add in cinnamon and stir to coat evenly.
  • Move cooked apples into a dish.
  • To make the topping, melt the remaining butter in the same pan over medium-low heat. Add in chopped almonds and cook until they begin to turn slightly brown. Add in hemp seeds and stir to combine.
  • Add in coconut flour 1/2 teaspoon at a time until the mixture thickens to a "crumble" consistency. You may need more or less coconut flour, depending on the absorbancy. Add in sweetener and stir until well-coated. Taste test and add more sweetener, if desired.
  • Top the cooked apples with the crumble. Enjoy!
