This healthy no bake apple crumble tastes like a cross between apple crisp and shortbread cookies, but no oven is required! Made without oats or butter, this almond flour apple crumble is a great way to use up those apples and makes the perfect easy summer or autumn treat that can be made in less than 30 minutes! {Vegan, dairy-free, paleo & gluten-free}.
Peel and thinly slice apples. Place slices in a pan with the rest of the filling ingredients and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until tender, about 10-12 minutes.
While apples are cooking, combine almond flour, coconut flour and salt together in a small bowl and mix with a fork, breaking up any clumps. Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla and mix until well combined.
Using a fork or spatula, press a little over half of the crumble mix into an 8-inch square pan. Evenly distribute the apples over top. Take the rest of the topping and sprinkle it evenly on top of the apple mixture.
Place in the refrigerator and chill for about 1-2 hours. Serve cold, at room temperature or warm.
Notes
I recommend slicing the apple as thinly as possible (see post above for specific instructions). It's also helpful to cut them into slices roughly the same size so that they cook evenly in the pan.
When pressing crumble mixture into the bottom of the pan, wet the back of a fork or spatula before pressing down to prevent mixture from sticking to the fork.
Store crumble in fridge for at least an hour to allow it to firm up, making it easier to cut before serving.
Serve as is or top with whipped cream, coconut whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Can be stored in the refrigerator in the pan tightly wrapped in saran wrap or in an air-tight container for up to one week.
