Recipe Directions
- 1. To make the crumble, briefly process coconut, nuts and salt until pecans are reduced in size.
- 2. Add dates and continue to process until mixture is coarse meal that still looks fluffy. Do not over-process. (You may still see small dark chunks of dates, but that’s okay.) Your "crumble" is now ready.
- 3. Slice your apples. (If you have a food processor, you can pulse chopped apples BRIEFLY if you are in a rush.) Set aside.
- 4. Throw your crumble loosely into a BIG bowl. Add your sliced apples on top of the crumble (and add your optional raisins/cranberries). Pour the lemon juice and the maple syrup into the bowl. Add cinnamon.
- 5. Gently stir everything together until the crumble, apples and moisture from the lemon juice/syrup are equally distributed.
- 6. Your crumble is now ready!
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian Fruit lovers, you're going to love this simple but beautifully flavored crumble recipe. This has a surprisingly buttery taste when assembled. With no butter, of course!
The lemon juice and the maple syrup add important "moistness" to this recipe (so that the crumble will stick to the sliced fruit).
GENIUS TIP: Store a batch of your dry "crumble" in a ziploc bag in your pantry for a few days. Then, when you want something sweet, just chop up an apple, add approx. 1/2 cup of crumble, then 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Stir and you're got a personal sized- crumble!

Is there a substitute for dried coconut? I usually just leave it out but it looks like it’s a big part in this recipe.

In most of my recipes, dried coconut is used as kind of a light filler - almost like how flour is used in regular cooking. It helps to LIGHTEN the recipe (instead of all nuts, which can be really HEAVY). Sometimes hemp seeds (aka hemp hearts) can be used on a 1-1 ratio as a substitute for dried coconut.
I agree that you can't OMIT the coconut in this recipe, because it is such a huge part of it. Do you have an allergy?

Raw apple crumble recipe
Wow this crumble was amazing! We enjoyed every bite. I️ added 2 tablespoons of honey instead of the maple syrup because that is what we had on hand. I️ also didn’t really use 5 tablespoons of lemon rather half a lemon and it came out phenomenal! I’ll def be making this again!!!

Raw apple crumble recipe
Hahaha,..."useful" describes your "genius tip" perfectly,...I say that because I made the crumble,...then used only 1 apple because 5 was more than I could eat,...the next day I did the same but used a banana instead,...just for a change,...))) and today I layered the crumble in-between the mango desert recipe just to give it some "crunch,"....so yes Laura Jane,...very "useful" and versatile too,...not to mention "Lekker." )))

Raw apple crumble recipe
This crumble is perfect for those days I'm kind of fed up with eating fruits! It's like a fruit makeover! I thought the comments were exaggerating about how amazing this was but they were totally right! Already made a second batch!

Hi Gimena, so glad you liked it!!
I keep a batch of the crumble in my cupboard a lot so that it's ready to go to spice up some fruit. Or, as you say, when a fruit makeover is needed :)

Raw apple crumble recipe
I love this crumble. I took your suggestion to mix the dry ingredients and them to the apple mix for individual servings. What a wonderful idea as I am sure I would have polished off the entire recipe in a couple of days it was so good. Now someone mentioned the raw apple pie. Got to go find that one right now.
Thank you again for sharing your wonderful recipes.

Hey Verda! I do the individual thing all the time - I usually just keep a batch of the dry crumble in a tupperware in my pantry, they I can easily make a dessert any time, any size ;)
