Coconut Apple Crumble

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. The benefits of a daily apple are well known. – We are blessed with a beautiful apple tree that has given us deliciously crunchy apples. Other than enjoying our daily apple intake, we have been making a very tasty apple crumble.

Ingredients:

Base

600g apples (4 – 6 apples, depending on size), cored and cut into small pieces
1/4 cup water
20g coconut oil
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/3 caster sugar

Top

1/3 cup caster sugar
1/3 flour
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
2/3 cup flaked almonds
50g coconut oil, melted

Instructions:

Core apples, then cut into rough 1-2cm cubes. Place apples in large saucepan and add water, coconut oil, cinnamon and castor sugar. Simmer (but don’t boil) covered with lid on med-high until apples are just tender but not too soft (usually 5mins once water is simmering). Pour apple mixture in a baking dish.
Combine caster sugar, flour, desiccated coconut, almonds in bowl and add melted coconut oil. Spread evenly over apples.
Bake at 180° C for 30-40minutes, or until crumble topping is slightly browned.

Health tip: Apple skin contains amazing plant chemicals (anthocyanins and quercetin) that keep us healthy and fight cancer. Before biting into your next apple, soak your apples with a splash of vinegar to remove toxic residues. Enjoy.

I loved your approach: warm and professional, friendly and calm. I came away with lots of hope and feel better just for that. I really liked the simplicity of your approach and appreciated that you didn't overload me with supplements or things to do. Seemed a lovely balance of dealing with the most important in a simple, practical way. And I liked that you were very attuned to what would actually work for me. — Chantal

"I was getting bad headaches about every month for decades The headaches were severe enough to require a lot of Panadol, which I didn’t like taking. After Anita carried out a thorough assessment of my health, she advised a simple change in eating patterns and a herbal supplement. I have not had a headache for five months now and my overall health and energy levels have never been better." — John

I would just like to share my experiences with Missing Link. I found the service impeccable. Not only was Anita warm and friendly but her professional knowledge is amazing. Through a few relevant questions and the biofeedback machine, useful details about my health were discovered that otherwise may have gone untreated or unnoticed for years and years. Anita is thorough and the results were fast, accurate and explained in a way that was meaningful and personal. - Michael

Anita’s input was extremely useful. Her state-of the-art machine detected some intolerance to certain food groups from a mere hair sample. Anita’s findings quickly resolved my on-an-off bloating sensation and lethargic state. Not bad for a Canberra-based Swissie.  — Cécile in Sydney

Great to catch up again yesterday, E. and I are really enjoying our new "Wellness Journey" together, so thank you so much for all of your help and guidance so far. Pleased to say Coffee has not passed my lips since our first meeting, and also my weight has reduced considerably, which is all good news. — I.K. from Canberra
