Preparation
Preheat the oven to 177°C (350° F). Mix the ingredients for the crumble and store in the refrigerator once combined. Use a fork or pastry cutter to cut in the cold/firm ghee or butter into the almond flour so it resembles coarse sand.
Shred the butternut squash and apples. Combine with remaining ingredients for the filling.
Pour the apple-butternut filling into a 32 cm x 24 cm (12 ½” x 9 ½ “) ceramic baking dish and top with the cold crumble topping.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crumble is golden brown. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
