Instructions
Prepare the apple-cherry filling
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F/180 °C.
- Core and peel the apples. Then thinly slice them into half moon shapes.
- If using frozen cherries, briefly rinse them under water.
- Divide the apples and the cherries into the baking dish. Set aside.
- In a blender or food processor, mix the dates with vanilla extract and milk until you get a light brown paste.
- Stir the date paste into the apples and cherries until all the fruits are slightly coated. Set aside.
Prepare the crumble topping
- If needed, melt the coconut oil in a small pan over the lowest heat setting.
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped nuts, coconut flakes, cinnamon powder, rosemary, almond flour, cassava flour, and coconut sugar.
- Then stir in the melted coconut oil and the grated ginger until the dry ingredients are just coated but well combined (everything will be barely coated).
- Divide the topping over the apple cherry filling.
- Bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown, the fruit is soft, and fruit liquids are bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and serve as-is or with a scoop of your favorite ice cream.

Notes
- Variations & Substitutions:
- Storage:
- Store any leftover apple cherry crisp in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- You can reheat individual servings in the microwave or stovetop for a few minutes until warm. If you’re in a hurry, it’s just as tasty and served cold, but I recommend warming it up.
- Cherries: For an extra burst of freshness, substitute fresh cherries when they’re in season. Make sure to remove the pits.
