Spices for Healthy Digestion
The flavor and aroma of cinnamon pair perfectly with baked apples for a warm and inviting flavor with comfort food appeal. This recipe enhances the ground cinnamon and nutmeg with Cinnamon Herbal Fasting Tea crystals, adding additional notes of citrus from bergamot and earthy burdock root. Cinnamon and bergamot help support healthy digestion and contain antioxidants to help protect cells from damage. (1)
Oats and nuts combine with grass-fed butter and coconut sugar to create a crunchy, buttery and slightly sweet topping that toasts as it bakes to golden brown goodness. Oats are a great source of fiber and help support healthy digestion while almond flour and pecans add healthy fats. Walnuts or chopped almonds can be used in place of pecans. Macadamia or cashew flour can be used in place of almond flour. Ground ginger and cinnamon bring warm, spicy flavor to the crumble topping. Ginger also supports a healthy gut and helps reduce inflammation.
Tips:
- Finish off your crumble with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream or whipped cream.
- If you’re cutting back on added sugar, omit the coconut sugar and use ¼ tsp of monk fruit sweetener instead.
