In an effort to make a dessert that my parents could have on their no sugar, no flour diet, I came up with this. Thanks to Ladypit for the idea of using pineapple and banana for added sweetness. My recipe will make a lot of crumble topping because that's how my family likes it. You can adjust quantities as you see fit. Ingredients:
1 banana |
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks in juice |
1 (21 ounce) bag frozen mixed berries |
3 apples, peeled and diced |
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce |
3/4 cup ground almonds |
1 cup chopped walnuts or 1 cup pecans |
1 cup whole oats (not quick oats) |
2 teaspoons cinnamon |
salt (less if using salted butter) |
1/2 cup melted butter |
1/4-1/2 cup honey |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Separated pineapple juice from chunks and in a food processor, puree the pineapple chunks and banana.
3. In a small sauce pan, reduce the pineapple juice to a syrupy consistency.
4. Combine the pureed fruit, pineapple syrup, frozen berries, apple, and applesauce in a large sauce pan and bring to a low boil.
5. Allow to cook until the apple are soft and the juices of the fruit have thickened.
6. In a large bowl, combine the ground almond, chopped nuts, oats, cinnamon, and salt, if using.
7. In a small sauce pan combine honey and butter and heat till well melted.
8. Pour butter and honey mixture into the dry ingredients a stir to combine.
9. Pour fruit mixture into a greased 9 x 13 casserole pan and top with crumble.
10. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the fruit mixture is bubbling at the edges and the topping is golden brown.
