YIELD: 8 servings
ingredients
- 2 pints of fresh blueberries (use 4 green apples, sliced, for the 21DSD)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 cup almond meal/almond flour
- 1/4 cup chopped macadamia or walnuts
- 1/4 cup melted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (omit for the 21DSD)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 pinches of sea salt
preparation
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Place the blueberries in a 9 inch x 9 inch baking dish, and squeeze the juice from half of the lemon over them. Toss slightly to coat the blueberries with the juice.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond meal or flour, macadamia nuts, melted butter, remaining lemon juice, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt.
- Spread the nut topping evenly over the blueberries, and bake until the fruit is well cooked/bubbly and the topping is golden brown (approximately 30-40 minutes).

If you are doing the 21DSD do you omit the maple syrup?
This isn’t a 21DSD friendly recipe – there are no berries on that program.
In the recipe it says to sub green apples instead of blueberries to make it 21DSD friendly; that’s why I was asking if the maple syrup was allowed.
Oh, sorry- no. There are no sweeteners allowed on the 21DSD! I’ll edit that note. Thanks!
No worries I just wanted to double check with ya :0) thanks for the quick reply

could I make this with nectarines? if so, how many (in cups)?
SURE! My guess is about 3 cups or 3-4 pieces of fruit depending on size.

I have made this easy crumble recipe a few times and really love it, as did everyone else who got to partake! It was amazing this past summer with freshly-picked blueberries. I’m wondering which fall fruits to try – maybe a mix of persimmon and apple?

Could this be made with coconut flour instead of almond flour? Having a very hard time finding the almond flour in my local grocery stores

Make your own! Super easy.. Just roast some almonds in the oven for 10 minutes on 325 degrees and then toss them in a food processor. Voila! Almond meal!!
I just tried the recipe, the top was too done and the berries not cooked after 20 min. I turned the heat down to 250 and baked it another 10 minutes to cook the berries. I had another recipe where I baked the berries first for 15-20 min then added the crumble for 15 min.. Started to do that this time, but followed this recipe instead. I will be looking for the other recipe.
I had the same experience, the top burned after 35 mins at 375 convection oven…I will give it another try but leave it in for 25 mins unchecked

I didn’t’ develop the recipe using convection, so I’d drop it to 350 or cover it to start!

Made this yesterday and loved it! I left out the maple syrup from the crumble and it was still sweet from all the blueberries. However, next time I’m going to double or triple the crumble part. I was left with a lot of empty spots, making it look more like a bunch of blueberry jam in a baking dish! 🙂 I will definitely try this again! Thanks!

I had some fresh blueberries, strawberries and blackberries, so I made this as a mixed berry crumble and omitted the maple syrup since my berries were all fresh. Not a bite was left!
PERFECT!!! Love it!
I just tried this recipe and was disappointed it was too buttery! and I had hardly any topping it was awful. Don’t know what I did wrong
