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 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'.

I like the idea of pre-cooking the apples a bit. And using almond must add a yummy nutty taste. Have a great FRiday.

ReplyDeleteI've had apple crumble but never made it. Apple is another fruit I tend to just eat as it comes.
ReplyDeleteWhat says Autumn better than a delicious Apple Crumble? The perfect comfort food pudding. Fresh picked, wild blackberries tumbled through remind me of my childhood days.
