Here we go with this amazing sugar-free apple crumble, a recipe that reminds me a lot of my stay in England and that wonderful mouth-watering apple crumble with ice cream I used to enjoy so much. Unfortunaly it was full of sugar and really bad for me … (sigh!)…
Introducing an alternative that you can use in a thousand ways, in your morning porridge, as dessert, etc … endless possibilities, up to you!
INGREDIENTS FOR THE FILLING:
- 1 kg of apples peeled and chopped into quarters
- 250 g of wild berries (can be frozen)
- 2 c.c. cinnamon powder
- 2 c.s. rice syrup or barley (optional)
- 1 c.s. orange zest
- Pinch of salt
INGREDIENTS FOR “CRUMBLE”:
- 1/2 kg thin oat flakes (I personally like them more than coarse ones)
- 100 g peeled almonds
- 100 g of walnuts
- 100 g of raisins
- Zest of two lemons
- 1 tbs fresh mint leaves
- 1 small cup of olive oil
- 1 small cup of rice syrup
- 1 tsp of vanilla essence or vanilla powder
- A little bit of salt
PREPARATION:
– For the filling:
- Peel, core and chop the apples into quarters.
- Then cut them into thin slices and put them in a baking tray with a pinch of salt and cinnamon.
- Add the berries. You can now add rice syrup or not (optional). I have chosen not to, because apples are already sweet enough for me.
- Mix in the orange zest. Mix well and set aside.
– For “Crumble”:
- Mix very well all the crumble ingredients in a big bowl and spread them on the apples we had previously prepared.
- Put the baking dish (pre-heated to 170ºC) and wait until the cake is lightly golden (around 20 min).
