Baked Plantain and Apple Crumble
There's just something about the combination of sweet, caramelized plantains and tart, juicy apples that makes us weak in the knees. This simple crumble is the perfect way to enjoy this delicious duo, and it's so easy to make, you'll be wondering why you haven't been making it all your life. The key to this crumble is using very ripe plantains. The riper the plantains, the sweeter they will be, and the better your crumble will turn out. We also like to use a combination of almond flour and coconut flour in our crumble topping. This gives the topping a nice nutty flavor and a crispy texture. Once you've assembled your crumble, simply pop it in the oven and bake until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving, and enjoy!
The plantain, a close relative of the banana, is a staple food in many tropical countries. It is a versatile fruit that can be eaten ripe or unripe, and can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. Plantains are a good source of dietary fiber, potassium, and vitamin C. Apples, on the other hand, are one of the most popular fruits in the world. They are a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants. Apples are also a versatile fruit that can be eaten fresh, cooked, or juiced. The combination of plantains and apples in this crumble is a match made in heaven. The sweet, caramelized plantains pair perfectly with the tart, juicy apples. The almond flour and coconut flour topping adds a nice nutty flavor and a crispy texture. This crumble is perfect for a quick and easy dessert. It can be served warm or cold, and is a great way to use up ripe plantains.
