Sugar Free Almond Flour Crumble
Sugar Free Almond Apple Crumble
You can't go wrong with a simple old fashioned apple crumble and this is a healthier version of the good old classic.
There are many different variations on the old favourite recipe, yet our twist is the best yet. This is a sugar free version, so packs a deeper, tarter taste. Also, by replacing the white refined high carbohydrate flour with ground almond nuts we are increasing the fibre content and reducing the blood sugar hit. Good news for those watching their weight and families looking to reduce their children's sugar load.
