This apple and walnut crumble is the perfect fall dessert. It’s easy to make, and it’s packed with flavor. The almond flour crust is crispy and nutty, and the apple filling is sweet and tart. The walnuts add a nice crunch, and the cinnamon gives it a warm, autumnal flavor.
I first developed this recipe a few years ago when I was looking for a healthy alternative to traditional apple crumble. I experimented with different flours and sweeteners, and I finally settled on almond flour and honey. The almond flour gives the crust a nice nutty flavor, and the honey adds sweetness without being too overpowering. I also added walnuts to the filling for some extra crunch and texture. The result is a delicious and healthy dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.
