Ingredients

For the blackberry apple filling

2½ cups thinly sliced apples peeled and cored
2½ cups blackberries fresh or frozen
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup coconut sugar
3 tbsp arrowroot starch or tapioca starch
1/2 tsp cinnamon

For the crumble toppings

1 cup blanched almond flour
1 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup coconut oil softened or melted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients for the filling and mix well to combine. Transfer to a 9x9 baking dish and spread into an even layer.
Add almond flour, pecans, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and sea salt in another bowl, and combine. Add coconut oil, and stir.
Spoon the crumble topping evenly across the filling mixture.
Bake for 35-45 minutes until the filling is tender and bubbly, and the topping is crisp and browned.
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.

Notes

Expert Tips

Frozen Blackberries: You can use frozen blackberries instead of fresh berries, but thaw and drain them first. This method will keep your gluten-free apple crumble from getting too watery.
Sweetener: I used coconut sugar for this recipe. If desired, you can swap this for light brown sugar, or even maple syrup.

Serving Tips

Serve this blackberry apple crumble with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, coconut whipped cream, or on its own.

Storage Tips

Store leftover crumble (completely cooled) in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
To freeze, let the crumble cool completely at room temperature. Store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
