tonight was fish night at our house- at least once a week we try to have a fish dinner; we always have potatoes next to our fish and we always have some type of dessert too.
there is a saying in turkish that goes sort of along the lines of “after fish, sweets should be eaten”- and we take it pretty seriously- so as i ordered the fish this morning, i also ordered a yummy chocolate cake. but soon after i discovered a huge surplus of apples lurking in the pantry!!!
and so apple crumble was in the works 🙂
this is a super simple, gluten free and vegan recipe that was loved by all the carnivores and herbivores alike in our house… (and don’t worry; the chocolate cake won’t go to waste- plenty of chocolate lovers live here too!)

mix together-
1.5 kilos apples- peeled, cored and chopped into small pieces
5 teaspoons lemon juice
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger

¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup almond flour
¾ cup gluten free oats

1/3 cup melted coconut oil
