When Phoebe invited me to her Virtual Viewing Party and All-American Potluck, the first thing that popped into my mind was apple pie.
I mean, besides hot dogs, what is more American than apple pie?
Only, I am not a huge fan of apple pie.
Don’t ask me why, I am not 100% certain; I just know that even before being diagnosed with celiac disease, apple pie was never really my thing.
What I do love though is a good apple crumble. Laced with cinnamon and just the right amount of crunch, a good apple crumble always seems to hit the spot.
This dish makes enough for a party. Feel free to half the recipe and bake it in a smaller pan if you must (9X9 square should do), but I love desserts that can feed the crowd and this one is no exception.
Grain-free, nut-free, egg-free and refined sugar-free, you’ll only find good stuff here. Eat it up! xo
Ingredients
- 3lbs Apples (organic is best, I prefer Cortland’s for baking)
- ¼ c Coconut Oil
- ¼ c Palm Syrup (Honey, Agave or Maple Syrup would work well, too)
- 1 Tbs Cinnamon
- ½ Tbs Nutmeg
- ½ tsp Cloves
- ¼ tsp Sea Salt
- ½ c Coconut Flour
- 1 c Coconut Flakes
- ½ c Palm Sugar (Turbandino or other non-refined dry sugar, just not in liquid form)
- ½ c Coconut Oil
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- ¼ tsp Sea Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350f.
- Prepare 13x9 in baking pan by greasing generously with coconut oil, set aside.
- Prepare apples by washing, coring and slicing each, placing wedges into large mixing bowl. Carefully drizzle ¼ c coconut oil, palm syrup, 1 Tbs cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and sea salt over apple slices, mixing with hands to ensure even coating throughout.
- Spread slices evenly throughout pan, set aside.
- Prepare topping by mixing coconut flour, coconut flakes, palm sugar, coconut oil, cinnamon and sea salt in medium sized mixing bowl, stirring until an easy crumb is created.
- Sprinkle topping evenly over seasoned apple slices.
- Bake at 350f for 20 min or until slices are lightly tender and the topping is golden brown.
- Serve as-is or with your favorite non-dairy vanilla ice cream.
- Makes 8-10 servings

I’ve been looking for great gluten-free crumble recipes. Thank you for bringing yours to the virtual potluck Sunny! Really appreciate you cheering me (and all of Team USA) on! xoxo Phoebe
🙂 Such a great event, Phoebe! Thank you for inviting me.
Yum!! Nut free and paelo friendly…can’t wait! Pinned
Thank you, Tessa! xo
Thank you for making a nut-free recipe. I’m going to try using a mix of apples and pears.
🙂 My pleasure! I hope you enjoy!
I really love this recipe, but I have made some changes over the years. I make it with maple syrup in the bottom and coconut palm sugar in the top. I like a lot of topping, so I use 2 lbs apples, and then I increase the topping by 1/2. I also use both flaked and shredded coconut in the topping (1/2 and 1/2). I use far less cinnamon and nutmeg in the filling (1 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp nutmeg ). I also slightly increase the salt in the topping. I prefer the apples to get more soft, so I bake for about 30-35 minutes.
Thank you for letting us know!
