Mixed Berry and Apple Crumble-No Sugar, No Flour

Submitted by LeeDelaino

"In an effort to make a dessert that my parents could have on their no sugar, no flour diet, I came up with this. Thanks to Ladypit for the idea of using pineapple and banana for added sweetness. My recipe will make a lot of crumble topping because that's how my family likes it. You can adjust quantities as you see fit."

Loved it! I didn't miss the sugar or flour at all. Nice way to kick the sweet tooth to avoid cheating on my diet. Very light yet yummy. Made this for Fall PAC. Would have taken a photo, but family (and me) ate it all up before the thought occurred.
