From the Elgon Nuts Kitchen
Some desserts are for celebrations. Others are for the afternoon that becomes more beautiful because you decided to make something warm.
This is the second kind.
A fruit crumble asks very little of you: a few pieces of ripe fruit, a handful of pantry staples, and enough time for the kitchen to smell like cinnamon and toasted nuts. With Elgon Nuts Macadamia Flour in the topping, the familiar becomes a little more refined. Its naturally buttery character brings a lovely tenderness to the crumble, while a scattering of chopped Raw Macadamia Nuts gives each spoonful a gentle, golden crunch.
There is no need for perfect fruit or elaborate pastry. Apples, pears, plums, or berries all find their place here. Use what is on the counter, then let the oven do the rest.

The Golden Macadamia Crumble
For the filling, toss about four cups of sliced fruit with a squeeze of lemon, a spoonful of maple syrup or brown sugar, a pinch of cinnamon, and a small pinch of sea salt. Spoon everything into a lightly oiled baking dish.
For the topping, combine one cup of rolled oats, one-half cup of Elgon Nuts Macadamia Flour, one-half cup of finely chopped Raw Macadamia Nuts, two tablespoons of brown sugar, and a pinch each of cinnamon and sea salt. Work in three tablespoons of melted butter or coconut oil until the mixture forms soft, uneven clumps—the kind that promise a beautiful crust.
Scatter the topping over the fruit, leaving a few pieces loose and craggy at the surface. Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes, until the fruit is bubbling at the edges and the topping is softly browned.

A Little Extra, If You Like
Serve it warm with plain yogurt, a spoonful of coconut cream, or simply as it is. The fruit will be bright and tender beneath the topping; the macadamias will bring their quiet richness without asking for much else.
If you are making it ahead, keep the fruit and topping separate until just before baking. It is a small step that preserves the contrast between juicy fruit and a crisp, nutty finish.
And do not save this idea only for dessert. A bowl of leftover crumble is a lovely companion to morning coffee, especially on a day when breakfast can wait an extra few minutes.
From Lukhuna Village in Kenya to your kitchen, Elgon Nuts brings the naturally rich character of premium macadamias to the recipes that make an ordinary day feel considered.
