For topping
To make the crumble topping, combine the coconut, almond meal, chia seeds, arrowroot flour and salt. Pour the coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract over. Mix well until the crumble sticks together. Sprinkle over the top of the fruit mix. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the Kanzi apples are cooked through and crumble is golden brown. To avoid the crumble browning too quickly, cover with foil halfway through cooking.
