Maple Blueberry Apple Crumble with Almond Butter Crumble
Since coming back to Canada a couple weeks ago I’ve been indulging in lots of fruit including fresh and frozen wild Canadian blueberries. Blueberries remind me of my childhood, my great grandma’s stories of picking blueberries up north and, of course, homemade, warm and comforting blueberry crumble.

Description
This Maple Blueberry Apple Crumble is the perfect comfort food treat! This dessert generously serves five and makes the perfect dish to be shared among loved ones in the warm summer weather (or any time of the year quite frankly). This Maple Blueberry Apple Crumble is not overly sweet so feel free to add more maple syrup or a pinch of regular sugar to taste if you prefer a much sweeter dish. Keeping in mind that with a scoop of vanilla ice cream this Maple Blueberry Apple Crumble comes to life! For a nut free option, use applesauce or a sweetened sunflower seed butter in lieu of the almond butter in the crumble.
Ingredients
- 2 heaping cups frozen wild blueberries
- 1 heaping cup apples, peeled and chopped in 1/3 inch / 1 cm chunks
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons oat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Crumble
- 3/4 cup oats
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2.5 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon almond butter (see note for nut free option)
- 2 heaping tablespoons finely crushed walnuts/almonds (optional)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350f or 180c
- If oat flour is not already handy, blend approximately 1 heaping cup of oats in a blender to make a fine oat flour. Once oats are finely blended, measure out the needed amount for the fruit and crumble mixture. Store any extra oat flour for future use.
- In a medium sized bowl measure out and lightly mix together blueberries, chopped apples, maple syrup, lemon juice and oat flour. Leave aside while preparing crumble mixture.
- In a small sized bowl, mix together oats, oat flour and cinnamon until the cinnamon is evenly dispersed. Add maple syrup, melted coconut oil, almond butter (or substitute) and optional walnuts. Mix the wet ingredients into the oat and flour mixture. The mixture will be a bit moist but is the perfect consistency after baking.
- Measure equal amounts of the blueberry-apple mixture into the 5 ramekins or baking dish. Following this, crumble the crumble mixture evenly on top of the blueberry-apple mixture using your hands.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until crumble begins to brown and the blueberries begin to become apparent through the crumble (see picture).
