  • Turn off the heat and allow the apples to sit whilst you make the crumble.
  • To make the crumble, place the pecans and desiccated coconut in a food processor fitted with an S blade. Process until a crumbly texture is formed, then add the cinnamon, coconut sugar, coconut flour and sea salt and process again until a crumbly delicate mixture is formed then add the melted coconut oil and process until combined.

Scatter over the blackberries, then sprinkle the crumble evenly over the top. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is lightly golden then serve warm.

Notes

LISA’S TIP - This is a fabulous grain & dairy free dessert, for extra decadence you can sprinkle pecans on top for extra texture and you can be as adventurous as you like with your fillings from peaches to nectarines, rhubarb to pears or if time is short, frozen fruit also works well.
