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 the last in the Fruit Cooking Series – 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 (no! Not meL)
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. This also goes to Harini’s Fruits Theme – Kids Delight, event by Valli, and also to Blogging Marathon.
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🙂
Prep time : 10 mins, Cooking +
baking time : 25 mins , Serves : 3
You
would need :
- Apples (Ripe and red variety) – 1
large – sliced with skin off - Brown Sugar – 2 TBSP
- Honey – 1 TBSP
- Lemon juice – 1 tsp
- Butter – 1 tbsp (I used vegan)
- Salt – a pinch
- Cinnamon sticks – 1 inch (or use ½
tsp cinnamon powder)
For the Topping:
- Oats / Muesli (I used sugar free
Muesli) – 2 TBSP - Almonds – 1/2 cup
- Honey – 1 TBSP
- Chopped almonds – for topping
Method:
- 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. - Take out the cinnamon sticks if
using, add lemon juice,cinnamon powder,stir and keep aside. - Dry roast muesli and nuts
for 1-2 mins till they turn warm, lightly powder them in a spice grinder and keep aside. Add Honey and make a crumbly slightly sticky topping mixture - Grease the ramekins, add the
stewed apples at the base, spread the almond-muesli on top. Bake in a pre-heated oven
at 200C / 400 F for 8-10 mins or till the muesli turns golden brown. - Slightly cool. Serve as it is or
with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
