Coconut Crusted Apple Baked Crumble

A delicious dessert that combines the sweetness of apples with the crunch of toasted coconut.

Ingredients:

For the crust:

  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

For the filling:

  • 6-8 medium-sized apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the unsweetened shredded coconut, granulated sugar, and salt.
  3. Add the cold unsalted butter to the bowl and use your fingers or a pastry blender to work it into the coconut mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Press half of the coconut crust mixture into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.
  6. Pour the apple mixture over the coconut crust in the baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining coconut crust mixture over the top of the apples.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is tender.
  9. Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream if desired.
