- 2 tbsp Firmly Packed brown sugar
- ¾ cup Sorghum flour
- ½ tsp Ground Cinnamon
- ½ tsp Ground Cardamom
- ¼ tsp Kosher Salt

- Preparing Your Oven and Dish:
Begin by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Then, butter a 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking dish.
- Crafting the Topping:
In a bowl, whisk together quinoa flakes, brown sugar, sorghum flour, cinnamon, cardamom, and a pinch of salt. Add the butter and mix. Fold in the walnuts.
- Mixing the Filling:
In a larger bowl, combine the apples and cranberries with granulated sugar, tapioca flour, and a sprinkle of cinnamon and cardamom. Toss them together.
- Assembling the Crumble:
Pour the filling into your prepared dish. Then, with a sprinkle, evenly distribute the topping over the filling, covering it completely.
- Baking to Serving:
Place the dish in the oven and bake the apples tender, about 55 minutes. If the crumble starts to darken too quickly, gently cover it with aluminum foil. Allow the crumble to cool for 20 minutes. Serve your Apple Cranberry Crumble warm or at room temperature with scoops of vanilla ice cream.
