    To make this crumble, I used two of my favourite fall fruits, plums and apples. Their different textures go so well together and form a sweet and tangy combination. Throw in some warming spices, cover with a healthy crust, and after 30 minutes in the oven, a deliciously healthy dessert is born.

    Another thing I love about making this apple and plum crumble? While baking, the smell in the kitchen from the fruits and warming spices is divine and will make your loved ones run to the table to get some of this delicious treat.

    Love to cook with fall fruits? Make this healthy apple cinnamon oatmeal or nourishing plum compote to celebrate seasonal produce.

    Ingredients

    Ingredients for the fruit layer

    Ingredients for crumble topping

    For the fruit layer:

    Plums – The riper the plums, the sweeter and juicier the fruit layer of the crumble will be.

    Apple – I used a sweeter variety like “Pink Lady” for this recipe.

    Cinnamon – Use ground cinnamon to sprinkle over the fruit before baking.

    Vanilla extract – I always use vanilla when baking because it takes desserts to the next level.

    Maple syrup – You can also use agave syrup or honey as a natural sweetener.

    For the crumble topping:

    Rolled oats – The oats give the crumble an extra crunchy crust.

    Almond flour – I use almond flour in this recipe because it is neutral in taste, which gives the other flavours room to shine. But you can also make this recipe with coconut or hazelnut flour to add these flavours.

    Hazelnut meal – Feel free to use almond meal, walnut meal or other ground nuts you like.

    Sliced almonds – You can also use slivered almonds in this recipe.

    Coconut oil – If the coconut oil is solid, melt it in the microwave before using it.

    Maple syrup – You can also use agave syrup or honey as an alternative in this recipe.

    Vanilla extract – I rarely bake a sweet treat without adding a hint of vanilla. It goes so well with the fruits and makes this dish even more flavourful.

    Instructions

    Preheat the oven to 180ºC (~ 350ºF). Halve the plums and remove the pit. Core the apples, remove the kernels and chop them.

    Put the halved plums into a small baking pan (10x20 cm).

    Now, add the chopped apple and sprinkle with cinnamon, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.

    Mix the rolled oats, ground hazelnuts, sliced almonds, and cinnamon powder in a bowl.

    Add vanilla extract, coconut oil and maple syrup.

    Mix with a spoon until well combined.

    Now, scatter the topping over the plum and apple layer and sprinkle with more sliced almonds. Bake for about 20 minutes until the crust is golden.

    Equipment

    • baking pan
    • bowl and spoon for mixing
    • chopping board
    • knife

    Serving ideas

    Serve this apple and plum crumble with regular, Greek or plant-based yoghurt to add a creamy but healthy touch to this crispy dessert.

    If you want to really indulge, add a dollop of this peanut butter nice cream, vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

    Recipe FAQs

    Can I use other fruits for this crumble?

    You can easily swap out the apple and plums for other fruits you like to make your favourite version of the crumble.

    Try other stone fruits like pears, apricots, nectarines, peaches and more to make good use of all the delicious fall produce.

    Can this apple and plum crumble be stored?

    The crumble is best served right after making. Store leftovers of this apple and plum crumble in the fridge. Keep in mind that the crumble crust will not stay as crunchy as it is when taking the crumble right out of the oven.
