Apple Pecan Crumble

1/3c all purpose flour

1/3c coconut sugar

1/2c cane sugar

1T pumpkin pie spice

1T ground chia and flax seed

a good shake of salt

1/2c rolled oats

1c chopped pecans

1 stick of cold or frozen butter

Whisk the dry ingredients together in a medium glass bowl. Grate in the butter, mixing it well with everything in the bowl. Use a metal pastry blender if needed. Set this aside while you preheat the oven to 350°, butter a 2-3 quart baking dish and prepare the fruit.

2-3/4# apples - I used Envy and a couple Macintosh

2 whole Cutie type Mandarin oranges

2/3c craisins

several slices of candied ginger

1T Mexican vanilla - optional

Wash and peel the apples. If you'd like, you can just rough peel them, to leave a little color and texture. I did that with the Envy apples but not the Macintosh since those skins are like eating a plastic bag 😑 

Chop-slice them into a large bowl, adding the finely chopped oranges. Toss to coat and bring out the juices, this will also keep the apple slices from browning. Add the craisins and finely chopped ginger. Sprinkle with a couple tablespoons of spiced turbinado sugar, toss again then pour all the fruit into a buttered 8x11x2" glass pan. Top with the pecan, sugar, crumble and bake for 45-50 minutes.

Serve warm or cold. This is good just as is, or with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. . .Lin
