Baked Plantain and Apple Crumble

This baked plantain and apple crumble is a delicious and healthy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The plantains and apples are mashed together and then combined with almond flour, pecans, coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. The mixture is then transferred to an 8-inch baking dish and baked for 25-30 minutes, or until the crumble is golden brown and bubbly.

The first time I had baked plantain and apple crumble was at a friend's house. I was immediately hooked on the sweet and savory flavors, and I knew that I had to recreate it at home. I experimented with different ingredients and proportions until I came up with this recipe, which I think is the perfect balance of flavors and textures.
