Autumn is definitely the right season for delicious apple crumble, and I can remember my dear Mum making a wonderful variety of crumbles using fruits appropriate to the season. She made it 'the traditional' way with flour, sugar etc. which if you have a look around the many recipes available on the 'net' you will see the carbohydrate content could be anything from 65g to 90g per serving! Now, if you are diabetic this would have your blood sugars rising, (best avoided!) and if like me you choose to eat the LCHF way and restrict your carb intake to no more than 50g carb per day a 'traditional' crumble is best avoided!
However, fear not, Apple Crumble - which really is a symbol of great family meals and togetherness - has a lower carb version! Yes fellow low carb blogger Julia McPhee has a 'low carb' version of this family favourite and she says ' No McPhee family gathering is complete (without her version) of Apple Crumble'.
Ingredients:
6 (Granny smith) apples, peeled and sliced
50g Butter
1 cup Almond meal
1 tbsp. Natvia
Optional
½ cup chopped nuts or Crunchy Grain Free Granola
Instructions:
1. Boil apples until soft in a small amount of water. Place in a baking dish.
2. Place softened butter, almond meal, Natvia, and nuts in bowl and mix together (real crumble requires mixing by hand), until well combined but still crumbly.

ReplyDelete:)
Yummy!
ReplyDeleteI bought a bag of Galas before the storm and I was thinking about making applesauce...but this sounds even better. I can only eat a little fruit at a time but it is so sweet and good! Thanks for the recipe and your sweet comments. Hugs, Diane

Apple crumble is comfort food isn't it? Enjoy your autumn.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite pudding this time of year is blackberry and apple crumble xx
ReplyDeleteYummy, apple crisp, one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI remember my mum making crumbles. Your recipe is definitely on my list. Thanks Jan :)
ReplyDeleteI used to love this, but lately I have not made any. Don´t like the apples nowadays. :(
ReplyDeleteI could eat this entire batch myself, I really like this stuff so don't even have it in my house anymore. The recipe sounds good but still too high in carbs unless one serving is all I eat on that day and and stick to zero carb foods for the rest of the day (lots of hot buttered coffee, etc). Hmmmm, it really is doable. LOL Now I just might have to make 1/2 a batch maybe......
ReplyDeleteComfort food at its best...yummmmmm~
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy.
ReplyDeleteHad a lot of Apple Crumble when we were in England.
A nice apple crumple, lovely. But, I love blackberry crumple fresh the bush, it is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI need to make more apple crumbles and this looks like a good version
ReplyDeleteYummy! That looks so delicious...
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me I froze some rhubarb before we went away, I should get that out and make a crumble.
