Apple Crumble, Paleo Style

After physically suffering through a 12km trail run with my ridiculously talented friend. I was reminded by my body why I eat paleo...
Let's go back a few hours and oh there it is.  The pizza I talked myself into despite my dairy and gluten allergy!

So tonight after making a simple yet delicious lamb stew with the leftovers of a roast I thought it was about time to create a paleo dessert that can also double as breakfast from an all time kiwi favourite.

The smell coming out of my kitchen was enough for me to take the first attempt of this recipe and blog it.  Childhood smells of homemade muesli and hot honey!!

SCRIPT
1 bag of green apples - peeled, cored, sliced
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup almond flour - make it yourself by blending up your almonds
1/2t cinnamon
1/2t ground ginger
1/2t vanilla
2T local manuka or bush honey - pure maple syrup will probably work too
*optional 1T coconut oil or butter - your choice if you can't find any ghee

METHOD
 Heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius
 Add sliced apples to a saucepan with a tablespoon of water and boil until soft
 Blend the seeds until an even texture
 Melt honey till it pours easily
 Stir cinnamon, ginger, coconut, almond flour, seeds, vanilla and honey together until they form a slightly clumpy granola texture
 (this is where you would add your oil or butter if you need it)
 Put stewed apples into an oven proof dish and sprinkle the crumble mixture on top
 Cook for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

NOTES
Add a touch of honey to the apples while stewing if you are worried about them not being sweet enough.
All measurements are for a large pie/casserole dish
