- Mix together filling ingredients: stir together blueberries, apples, oat flour (or arrowroot), dates (or sugar), cinnamon, lemon juice and zest and set aside.
- Process almonds and 1 cup oats (or all-purpose flour) in the food processor until they look like flour. Add dates (or sugars), salt and oil; process until well combined. Stir in ½ cup oats, leaving unprocessed.
- Spray a 13×9-inch cake pan with non-stick spray (or grease with butter or oil), then pour in blueberry mixture making sure that it is relatively level. Sprinkle with crumble topping (use all of the topping).
- Bake for 50-70 minutes on the middle shelf in the oven until blueberry juice is bubbling up through in places and the crumble is just starting to brown. Note: if baking in 12 individual dishes (as pictured) cut baking time to 45 minutes.
- Cool for 15 minutes before eating. Cool completely before covering with a lid or plastic.
