This Paleo Apple Crumble is a decadent dessert that keeps it low-carb and completely grain-free.
In my house, one of our favorite desserts is this apple crumble filled with the rich tastes of fall and topped with a nut mixture that leaves you wanting more!
For the filling, I used green apples with lemon juice, honey and ground cinnamon. While the apple filling sits and the flavors blend together, you can start putting together the crumble.

Almonds and walnuts are the main ingredients here, but pecans and other Paleo-friendly nuts work just as well. Process the nuts in a blender until you get a fine meal, and mix the nut meal with tapioca starch, ground cinnamon, salt, honey, and some melted coconut oil. After mixing well, you’ll get a crumbly texture.
Next, all that’s left to do is divide the apple filling between the ramekins and top with the crumble mixture. Bake the apple crumble for 25 minutes until the juices of the apples started bubbling and the top of the crumble turns golden brown.

Tip: Depending on how you like to serve this crumble, you can either prepare the ingredients in one large baking dish or in individual ramekins like I did. I love serving this Paleo apple crumble for dessert when guests are over, because you can easily bake it in individual-sized ramekins and it looks so pretty when served.
