Feijoa & Apple Crumble
Got a few feijoas to use up?
I used the last of my feijoa stash on this crumble and I wasn’t disappointed! That sweet feijoa flavour intensifies with baking and makes a lovely syrupy sauce at the bottom of the dish omnomnom! Don’t worry if your feijoas are the last of the season and a bit worse for wear, they will hide nicely in this dessert!
SERVES 4-6
Ingredients
2 cups of feijoa flesh
3 apples (Golden Delicious or similar)
zest & juice of 1 lemon
sprinkle of cinnamon
Topping
3 tablespoons coconut oil
3/4 cup almond meal
1/2 cup raw almonds, chopped roughly
1/2 cup raw macadamia nuts, chopped roughly
zest of 1 lime
2 teaspoons of coconut sugar (optional)
Method
Preheat oven to 180˚C – fan bake.
Cut apples into generous chunks and combine with the feijoa flesh, lemon zest & juice and cinnamon. Put in an oven proof dish.
For the topping, rub the almond meal and coconut oil together to make a crumble-like consistency (I used a fork and just mashed it like a banana). Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
Spoon onto the fruit and cover with foil.
Cook for 20-30 mins (depending on apple size), remove foil and cook for another 10 mins or until the top is crunchy.
Try and stop yourself at one helping.

Wow! Looking for a added sugar-free and gluten-free dessert and I have just made this. YUM! I didn’t add the coconut sugar. The lemon and lime really make this flavourful. Will be making this again tomorrow night to use up the feijoas. Might try it with pears too. Thanks :)

Hi Emma — glad you enjoyed it! I make an apple and pear one too and add some fresh ginger in it — divine! x
