Crumble is one of those classic desserts that just screams ‘comfort food’! Super hearty and really comforting, an Apple Crumble has to be one of our absolute favourite puds.
Our slimming friendly take on this tasty treat is just as satisfying and delicious as a ‘normal’ crumble, but without all of those pesky extra calories and Points.
This recipe is super versatile and if you’re not a fan of apples in your crumble, then you can easily swap them out for whichever fruit you’d prefer. Rhubarb, mixed berries or even pear all work really well so feel free to get creative!
If you’re going to use different fruits, then remember to check the nutritional values as these can vary depending on the fruit you choose!
What diets is this Apple Crumble suitable for?
This recipe is suitable if you’re gluten free as long as you swap out the following ingredients for gluten free versions;
- Flour
- Oats

Please make sure to double or triple check all of your ingredients if you’re cooking for people with allergies.
Do you need any special ingredients to make Apple Crumble?
We prefer to use a natural, granulated sweetener which weighs the same as sugar. They tend to taste a lot better and although they cost a little more, you don’t need as much as with the powdered type of sweetener.
There are various brands to look out for and Sukrin, Candarel Sugarly or Natvia are widely available in supermarkets or online.
