As much as I love baking, sometimes I just to make something quick. With the blistering heat capping off at 100 degrees, the last thing I want is my oven on for several hours. My current go-to? Fruit crumbles. They’re so versatile and perfect for the summer with the abundance of fruit. Today I’m shining some light on underrated apricots and making a chai spiced apricot almond crumble. You can easily swap the fruit of your choice to make it your own. Top it off with a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream and you have the definition of a fall dessert.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb apricots, ripe
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup almond butter, smooth
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg, ground
  • 1/4 tsp ginger, ground
  • 1/4 tsp allspice, ground
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom, ground
  • 1/8 tsp cloves, ground
  • 1 1/2 cups fine almond flour
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Prep the apricots. Cut the apricot in half and remove the pit. Slice each half into 2-3 slices, depending on the size of the apricot. Gently toss the sliced apricots with 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp lime zest, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tsp cornstarch, and 1 tsp vanilla. Pour the fruit mixture into a 9x9 baking dish and let sit for 20 minutes.
Melt 1/2 cup butter in a small pan over medium heat. Continue to cook the butter until it begins to brown and smells nutty. Remove the brown butter from heat and stir in 1/4 cup almond butter and 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp allspice, 1/4 tsp cardamom, and 1/8 tsp cloves. Stir in 1 1/2 cups fine almond flour and 3/4 cup brown sugar until well combined.
Scatter the chai spiced crumble on top of the apricots in an even layer. Bake the crumble for 45 minutes-1 hour or until the crumble is well browned and the juices are bubbling. Let cool slightly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream if desired.
