Apple Crumble (vegan, paleo, white sugar free)

A while back, I posted this recipe for apple crumble. It was a bit of an experiment that gave me some interesting results. It’s a good breakfast crumble, but it’s not something I would make for dessert on a regular basis.

When I make apple crumble for others, I make a different recipe. After making this recipe for some dinners and being asked for the recipe a few times, I decided to share the recipe here. The crumble portion is a little less crunchy than in most recipes. This one has a blend of different textures.

As with most things I cook or bake, I have a tendency to simply add ingredients until the mix looks right, rather than measuring them. This time, I made the effort to measure them so that I could share the recipe. I recommend making this for guests when you’re unsure about what to make for dessert. It’s easy and allergy friendly (aside from nuts), and accommodates all kinds of different dietary choices.

Apple Crumble (vegan, paleo, refined sugar free)

Ingredients
2 apples, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp almond meal
2 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp coconut palm sugar
1 tsp cinnamon, split into 1/2 teaspoons

Directions
Preheat oven to 350F.

Place the chopped apples in an even layer in a baking pan. Sprinkle half the cinnamon over the apples and toss around until the apples are evenly coated.

Mix the rest of the ingredients in a separate bowl. Try to spread the mix evenly over the apples and bake for 20-25 minutes. Makes 2 servings, so multiply as needed.

    I love that spaghetti squash is healthier than pasta. It’s also a tad more versatile because you can add sauce to it, but you can also choose to fry it. I could even go as far as to say I prefer it over pasta, but that seems like a big statement to make. The first…

    Today, I finally went to the farmer’s market for the first time since I moved into town, seven years ago. My partner was looking for a fun way to celebrate our anniversary.

    I tried making zucchini fritters when I had a bag of ten zucchinis from Costco in the fridge. I used a recipe that I found online, but found it quite disappointing. So, I decided that I wanted a better recipe. I improvised a recipe using some of my favourite ingredients instead. These turned out quite…

    I know I already posted a vegan chickpea curry a couple of months ago. That one had a veggie broth base with coconut milk. This one here has a tomato paste base, similar to a chana masala. You would usually find recipes for chana masala with actual tomatoes. While I find I have a hard…

    UPDATE – 10/13/15 – After a few people commented that these chai spice cookies flattened out completely for them and after experiencing that myself, I edited the recipe. I also decided to include a starch free version using xylitol. I started making these fantastic little chai spice cookies a year or two before posting the…

  • Curry Kale Chips (vegan, paleo)

    I present you with… curry kale chips! I have a confession to make. I’m addicted to curry. Honestly, I’ve thought of curry-ing pretty much everything I eat. I mean, things that you would never think of flavouring with curry spices. Like kale chips. Or roasted pumpkin seeds. At least my addiction consists of a healthy…
