Blackberry, Apple & Gingerbread Crumble (Vegan + Paleo)

Blackberry, Apple & Gingerbread Crumble (Vegan + Paleo) Crumble weather is here! I love this time of year, mainly for the comforting, warming foods that I get the excuse to make.

This crumble definitely ticks the comforting and warming boxes. Plus, the flavours are just amazing. Imagine a classic apple and blackberry crumble with a gingerbread and almond twist. SO GOOD.

Another thing to love about crumbles is that they’re so easy to make. Minimal, easy prep and a fast baking time means this is perfect for last-minute desserts.

Blackberry, Apple & Gingerbread Crumble (Vegan + Paleo) Using ground almonds for the crumble topping not makes this crumble gluten-free & paleo-friendly but also adds another flavour element and works wonderfully with the other ingredients.

I served this the night I made it to some friends who had no idea it was “healthy” and absolutely loved it. Especially served with some coconut milk ice cream.

  2. Can I use frozen blackberry? Can the fruits be made ahead of time and freeze? If yes, do I need to defrist before it goes to the oven? I also made my own pumpkin spice which already has ginger, with the additional finger powder in the recipe, would it be too strong? I'm just wondering.... Thank you!

    • I think you probably could make a crumble with coconut flour but I'm not sure how it would taste with the other flavours, I can't imagine them going that well together, to be honest. You'd have to use a different ratio of flour > fat too. Let me know if you try it though!

  7. It is most definitely crumble weather! I love the change in seasons just so we can transition into warm and cozy foods like this...all the better when it's a sweet. Love your gingerbread twist on this!

  8. Love a good crumble on Sunday morning. Apple, blackberry and gingerbread combination sounds superb. Not to mention, this is such a healthy version compared to butter and brown sugar packed crumbles that most people make. LOVELY photos as always. Hope all is well. Cheers!
