I felt troubled when going into a paleo diet and knowing I couldn’t enjoy the same apple crumble dessert I so much loved. Well luckily I was able to re-create a paleo version to replace the old one and it tastes incredible with vanilla custard. So you don’t necessarily have to stop eating your favourite desserts when you go paleo or switch into a healthy diet. You simply just make couple changes to the old recipe. How was I able to create a sweet and tasty apple crumble without grains or artificial sweeteners? Check out my recipe below. 

If you wish to make a healthy vanilla custard check out this recipe. It’s challenging to make but tastes incredible with apple crumble.

First step is to grate 4 apples but don’t peel them before this. Put 3 tbsp stevia, touch of cinnamon and 1 tsp vanilla on the pan. When the stevia starts to melt add your apples. Then take one apple, cut it into dices and add that to the mixture. This will bring some more texture to the mix. Add 1 tbsp honey that brings nice sweetness to the apples. Next grate some lemon peel into the mix and squeeze half a lemon juice. Now your mixture should look something like in this picture and you can turn off the heat. Taste to know whether you need to add some more of any ingredients. 

While you let your apple mixture sit you will be making the crumble. I used 1/4 cup almond and 1/4 cup coconut flour. Mix 1 tbsp of stevia into the flour, touch of cinnamon and mix it into a 1 tbsp of butter. You can mix this together with your hands until it looks like bread crumbs. 

Now you can spread the crumble on top of the apple mixture and put in the oven (200 C) for 10-12 minutes. 

If you are vegan and don’t want to have vanilla custard you could as well make some vanilla Nice Cream with your apple crumble. It does have a bit of a strong taste of the fruits you’ll use but it is a pretty good combo with the apple crumble. You can try the following vanilla nice cream recipe:

1/2 cup coconut cream
2 bananas
1 tbsp honey
2 tsp vanilla 
Blend together about 1 minute.
