• ▢ 1 tsp cinnamon

Caramel centre:

• ▢ 15 g pecans (roughly chopped)

Instructions

 

To make the fruity filling:

• Put all of the ‘fruity filling’ ingredients into a saucepan and simmer over a low heat for around 10 minutes until any liquid has evaporated and the apples have softened.
  350 g apples, 30 g coconut sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp cinnamon
• Whilst the apples are cooking, make the caramel sauce and crumble topping.

To make the caramel centre:

• Add all of the caramel ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth (**see note).
  125 g medjool dates, 100 ml dairy free milk, 1 tbsp coconut oil, 1 pinch of salt

To make the crumble topping:

• Add the flour, sugar and cold coconut oil into a bowl and rub with your hands until roughly combined (***see note)
  50 g oat flour, 20 g coconut sugar, 30 g coconut oil
• Stir in the pecan pieces.
  15 g pecans

Compile the desserts:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C fan (200°C conventional / 400°F / gas mark 6).
• Add the fruity filling into single serve oven-proof ramekins.
• Move the fruit away from the centre and add in a generous spoonful of the caramel sauce (around 2 tsp per dessert)
• Sprinkle over the crumble topping.
• Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until golden and bubbling.

Notes

Vegan / Dairy Free / Egg Free / Gluten Free / Wheat Free / Refined Sugar Free

* You can make your own oat flour by simply blending oats into a fine meal.

** Medjool dates work best for the caramel as they are nice and soft and gooey. If you have slightly drier dates soak them for an hour in hot water and then squeeze them out before blending.

*** Don't work the crumble into a fine crumb, it tastes better if it’s kept only ‘roughly’ combined because the edges go nice and crispy in the oven.
