Apple Crumble with Almond Flour & No sugar added Muesli Topping

Pinterest Hidden Image

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:

  1. Stew the apples on a low flame with 1/2 cup of water, butter, honey, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks till the apples become mushy and most of the water evaporates. Takes about 6-7 minutes on very low heat (depending on the quantity)
  2. Take out the cinnamon sticks if using, add lemon juice, cinnamon powder (in place of cinnamon sticks) ,stir and keep aside.
  3. Dry roast muesli and nuts for 1-2 mins till they turn warm, lightly powder them in a spice grinder and keep aside. 
  4. Add Honey to above mixture and make a crumbly slightly sticky topping mixture.
  5. Grease the ramekins, add the stewed apples at the base, spread the almond-muesli on top. 
  6. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200C / 400 F for 8-10 mins or till the muesli turns golden brown.
  7. Slightly cool. Serve as it is or with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.

    I love this warm apple crumble dessert, especially on cool winter nights. It is comforting and delicious. You have very judiciously used the ingredients to justify it as a healthy dessert. Great job!

    With fall just round the corner we will get different varieties of apples. I usually make apple crumble with a flour based crumble. Like this quick version using muesli instead. Will try out this recipe this year.
