Apple & Almond Crumble

By KeyIngredient

This is a lovely variation of classic apple crumble. Given the number of apples the one tree in my garden produces, I think I may have to create more versions.

Ingredients

• 6-7 large apples, peeled, cored and sliced
• 1/3 cup golden raisins
• zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 1/2 cup water
• honey
• 1 cup almond meal or almond flour
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/3 cup almonds, roughly chopped
• 1 1/3 to 1.5 sticks of butter, cut into small cubes

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400.

Place all the sliced apples into a large round ovenproof dish (it should be about 11-12 inches across) Sprinkle the golden raisins on top of the apples. Pour the water and lemon juice over the fruit. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the fruit.

Combine the almond flour, flour, chopped almonds and lemon zest in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the cubed butter and mix it together with the flour using your fingers. The finished mixture should resemble coarse breadcrumbs (you may have a few larger pieces of butter and that is OK)

Cover the fruit with the crumble mixture, spreading it out evenly over hte top. Drizzle 1 tablespoon honey in lattice pattern over the crumble.

Bake in the center of the oven for 40 minutes, or until the crumble is golden brown. Serve warm. This is excellent with some vanilla ice cream or creme fraiche.
