Strawberry and Apple Crumble
Equipment
- 4 4-inch ramekins
Ingredients
- 2 cups diced strawberries
- 1 cup chopped apple
- 1 squeeze lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp monkfruit sweetener (or sugar)
- 4 tsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
For the Crumble
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter, cold
Instructions
For the filling
- In a medium bowl, combine strawberries, apples, lemon juice, vanilla, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt and sweetener.
- Stir until everything is mixed together and there are no dry bits. Set aside.
For the crumble
- In a large bowl, combine sugar and flour. Dice the butter into small pieces and toss in the flour and sugar mixture.
- Cut the butter into the flour and sugar with a pastry cutter or use a fork until the butter pieces are the size of peas or the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
To assemble the strawberry and apple crumble
- Fill the ramekins with the fruit mixture (about 1/2 cup each). Firmly pack down the fruit to ensure the whole dish is covered. The fruit shrinks when cooked.
- Cover the fruit with a thick layer of the crumble.
- Bake at 350 for 25 minutes until the fruit mixture is bubbling though the top.
- Let chill for 15 minutes before serving by itself or with vanilla ice cream.
