Mediterranean Apple Berry Crumble Casserole

Ingredients

• 3 medium apples (e.g., Honeycrisp, Gala), peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen, e.g., blueberries, raspberries)
• 2 TBS honey or maple syrup
• 1 TBS cornstarch
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1/2 cup gluten-free rolled oats
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 2 tsp Salted Perfection Cinnamon Vanilla Finishing Salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish. This makes cleanup a breeze, wise guy.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, mixed berries, honey (or maple syrup), cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss 'em gently until everything's coated. This is your sweet, fruity foundation.
3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, almond flour, brown sugar, and the star of the show, 2 tsp Salted Perfection Cinnamon Vanilla Finishing Salt. Use your fingertips or a pastry blender to cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This is where the magic happens, giving you that perfect crunch.
4. Pour the fruit mixture evenly into your prepared 8x8 inch baking dish. Don't be shy, spread it out.
5. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit layer. Make sure it's covered, like a blanket of deliciousness.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbly and tender, and the topping is golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on it – nobody likes burnt crumbles!
7. Let the casserole cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. It'll be hot enough to melt your face, so let it settle down a bit. Serve warm, maybe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you're feeling extra fancy.
