This was very good. I did tweak it a little though. I soaked the diced apricots in boiling water for about 5 minutes then drained them in order to rehydrate them so they would be moist in final dish. I also took a previous reviewers advice and added a splash of flour for thickening to the Granny Smith apples I used since I felt the large amount of oj would liquify too much (I would reduce the oj to a tablespoon next time). Finally, I omitted the baking powder in the topping as I felt it was unnecessary. Very nice and delicious crumble. Thanks for posting.

Delicious!! My family loved this crumble which is not too sweet but is oh so yummy. We loved the addition of the dried apricot, and the walnuts provided just the right amount of crunch. I used Braeburn apples because they are my favorite baking apple. Also, because we love cinnamon, I used 1 tsp. instead of 1/2 tsp and I threw in a little flour, for thickening, with the apples. I served this warm with French vanilla ice cream...heaven!! My family gave this 2-huge thumbs up! Thank you Andi...this is definitely a keeper!!

Along with the story. A perfect five stars. This is not very sweet but I hate sugar so that is a good thing here. I made ours gluten free using a white and brown rice flour/tapioca starch mix (half the amount starch to flour) I had to leave out the vanilla as I bought the wrong one that had alcohol in it which I don`t use for religious reasons. I used Empire apples, omitted the baking powder because of allergies, & served with Balkan yogurt for breakfast as that is what was on hand. Made for Veggie Swap #45 ~ April 2012 ~
