Chocolate Fruit Crumble

The addition of chocolate to a fruit crumble really elevates this dish above the ordinary. The recipe is very forgiving - I'm sure you could use many types of fruit. This is a very loose rendition of Smitten Kitchen's Chocolate Oat Crumble - as in, I think I changed every ingredient but the oats.

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 2⁄3 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
• 1  cup quick oats
• 1⁄2 cup honey
• 3  ounces coconut oil

• 2  tablespoons cornstarch

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Mix chocolate chips, oats and honey in a small bowl for the topping.
3. Melt coconut oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add sugar and cook together, stirring, until it becomes golden at the edges.
4. Add chopped apples and stir. Cook 5-10 minutes or until slightly softened.
5. Mix in dates and nutmeg.
6. Remove from heat and stir in the cornstarch.
7. Pour the fruit mixture into a greased 9 inch square pan.
8. Spread the topping over the top of the fruit.
9. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until the apples are soft and the topping is crispy.
