Apple Blackberry Crisp


I have been wanting to post this recipe for about three weeks. The trouble was, every time I baked one of these delicious desserts, we devoured it so quickly that I could never get a picture of it!

Enjoy.

Ingredients:

5 (preferably organic) Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped into bite sized pieces

1 pint fresh blackberries

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract (no sugar – check the label)

2 tablespoons blanched almond flour

1 cup blanched almond flour

¼ teaspoon kosher or sea salt

¼ teaspoon baking soda

2 ½ tablespoons olive oil

Stevia equivalent to 2 tablespoons of sugar

Preparation:

Place apples and blackberries in a large bowl

Sprinkle with lemon juice, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons blanched almond flour, tossing to incorporate all ingredients

Place apple-blackberry mixture in an 8” x 8” baking dishhttp://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=elanaspantryc-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B000MF8SL6 and set aside

To make topping:

Iin a medium bowl, combine almond flour, salt, baking soda, and oil.

Crumble topping over apple-blackberry mixture.

Cover with tinfoil and bake at 350° for 60 to 75 minutes until fruit is juicy and bubbling.

Remove from oven and uncover.

If topping is lightly browned, allow to cool for 10-15 minutes.

If topping is not yet browned place in oven uncovered for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Note: Remember: Lightly browned is what you're after.

Delicious warm or cold.

Rhubarb drink

This is somehting I plan to try when the rhubarb is sufficiently grown for harvesting:

1 kg rhubarb stalks
1,8 ltr water
450 ml sugar
Juice of one big lemon

Cut the rhubarb into small pieces and cook in the water for 15 minutes. Don’t stir it. Strain and throw away the rhubarb pulp.

Add the sugar and lemon juice to the rhubarb juice and bring to the boil. Cool and bottle. Keep refrigerated. Serve cold and thin with water as desired.
