Raw Apple Crumble
- Servings : 4
- Prep Time : 15 minutes
- Cook Time : 0 minutes
This is a great dessert because it's easier and faster to make than an apple pie or crisp, and requires no baking. Instead of refined sugars, this recipe uses dates for sweetness, and lemon juice and nutmeg for that extra zing.
