Recipe Of The Week / Apple & Coconut Crumble

Apple & Coconut Crumble.

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 30-40 minutes

Ingredients:

Apple mixture:
5 large apples
1 8oz bottle of Glory Juice #5
2 cups water (or enough to cover the apples)
½ teaspoon cinnamon

Crumble mixture:
1 cup of almond meal
2 cups Glory Granola (crushed into small pieces)
1/2 cup of shredded coconut
2 tablespoons Glory Nut Butter
1 tablespoon vanilla essence
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons of maple syrup
1/4 cup of coconut oil (melted)

Directions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 180°C/ 355F.
2. Cut the apples into medium sized cubes (discarding the core). Place the cubed apples into a large saucepan along with the #5 juice, enough water to cover the apples (2-3 cups) and ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
3. Boil the apples over a medium heat then cover and let simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to simmer for at least another 10 minutes or until the apples are soft.
4. While the apples are stewing, make the crumble mixture by combining the almond meal, crushed granola, shredded coconut, nut butter, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup and coconut oil into a large mixing bowl. Mix throughly until well combined.
5. Grease a square baking dish with coconut oil. Strain the liquid from the stewed apples into a cup (you can drink this later like a hot apple cider!) and empty the cooked apples into the baking dish.
6. Spoon the crumble mixture all over the top of the stewed fruit. Press the mixture down to form a flat crust.
7. Place dish in the oven and bake for approximately 30-40 minutes or until the crumble is golden.
8. Let cool for 15 minutes (so the crumble can harden) before serving. Serve with coconut milk ice-cream.
