Serves 3-4 people | Active time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 15-20 minutes Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian Ingredients 3 apples 2 tablespoons coconut sugar 1 teaspoon sea salt, divided in half 4 ounces dark chocolate –(preferably 80%+ cocoa), chopped into small pieces 1 ½ cups almond flour 1/2 cup coconut oil 1/4 cup honey 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup shaved coconut Ice cream of choice! (optional) Instructions Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slice apples into bite- sized chunks with skin-on, discarding the core. In medium bowl, toss apples with coconut sugar and ½ teaspoon salt. In large bowl, use clean hands to combine almond flour, coconut oil (room temp, not melted), coconut sugar, vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon salt well until coconut sugar is no longer clumpy and everything combines well to make a dough. Pour apples into a small casserole dish and spread out across the bottom of the dish. No oil is necessary at the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle chocolate on top of apples. Sprinkle crumble mixture all over top. Bake in oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until crumble is starting to brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle shaved coconut on top. Bake in oven for 3 more minutes to toast coconut shavings. Remove from oven and serve hot with ice cream! n Anja Lee's Dark Chocolate Crumble Above: Chef Anja Lee Wittels' popular dark chocolate crumble made with apples and almond flour, topped with ice cream, oozes with richness.
