Paleo apple crumble is usually smothered in honey, maple, coconut sugar, dates (or all of the above). Yes, way healthier than the usual sugar-y suspects BUT do we really need that extra sweet factor? Aren’t the apples sweet enough…?
We got our Granny Smith apples from our local SupaBarn (as part of our SupaMerry collab!) and in this paleo apple crumble’s case. YES! They are definitely sweet enough. We think you’ll agree. Tasty, sweet goodness minus the sweetener!
We’ve been experimenting with zero natural sweetener in our paleo (un)sweet treats and we can 100% definitely confirm there are a stack of delicious desserts that need no sweetener at all! True story! Check them all out here.
This sweetener free paleo apple crumble might just be our new favourite recipe! It’s so quick and easy. PERFECT for a cold winter night… AND, we think we forgot how good apples are. Apples taste freaking amazebites!
If you don’t dig apples… then we also have this super yum Blueberry Crumble! Yay! If you make this crumble-of-fun then share it on social with #themerrymakersisters yeah yeah yeah!
Always merrymaking,
Emma + Carla
