Method

Step 1 of 3

Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced. Lightly grease a 16x21cm ovenproof baking dish.

Step 2 of 3

Cut unpeeled apples into quarters, remove core and thinly slice. Combine apples and dates in a medium saucepan with apple juice, spice, vanilla and maple syrup. Bring to the boil, remove from heat. Spoon into prepared baking dish.

Step 3 of 3

To make the gluten-free crumble, place butter, walnuts, almond meal, quinoa flakes, coconut, spice, vanilla and syrup in a food processor and pulse until nuts are chopped but not too fine so that there is some texture. Scatter over the apple and date mixture. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden and apple is tender. Stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with thick cream, if using. Tip 1: Use rolled oats instead of quinoa flakes in this recipe. You can use dried dates if fresh are unavailable. Tip 2: This crumble is great served in plastic airtight containers cold in lunch boxes the next day. Tip 3: This dessert can be made in individual ramekins.
