Raw Apple Crumble
This is a great dessert because it’s easier and faster to make than an apple pie or crisp, and requires no baking. Instead of refined sugars, this recipe uses dates for sweetness, and lemon juice and nutmeg for that extra zing.
1 cup walnuts
4 pitted dates
4 pitted dates
3 apples, peeled, sliced and large diced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 apples, peeled, sliced and large diced
2 tablespoons lemon juice

¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 apples, peeled, sliced and large diced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
6 pitted Medjool dates
¼ cup raisins
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Topping:
Blend the walnuts and 4 dates in a food processor until the texture is a little smaller than Grape Nuts. Spoon into a small bowl and set aside.

Awesome Blog Chef Jelly!!! Thank You!
ReplyDeleteI know how amazing this is because I made Ani Phyo's Fresh Mango Crumble this weekend and it is very similar. It's so good, in fact, that the leftovers are calling my name from the fridge!!!!!!!!! Next time I'm going to make this apple version.
ReplyDeleteOk, Since I have compounded formulas in a pharmacy setting for almost 7 years...I should know to read recipes before I make them. I neglected to get 10 Dates. BUT I did get 7 dates I put 3.5 dates in the topping and 4.5 in the filling. I also do not have a blender or food processor other than a small handy chopper, it was REALLY full but, it did the job. Very good recipe, something that satisfies the sweet tooth without artificial ingredients. It is probably better with the correct amount of dates! This picky eater will make this again!
ReplyDeleteSounds great, but I am allergic to walnuts. Nothing deadly, but they make me itch as do pecans. All other nuts are a go. Do you have a suggestion for a walnut subsititute that would work the best?
