Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper (or lightly grease) and set aside.
- In a large bowl, blend together almond flour, tapioca flour, and salt. Add melted coconut oil and maple syrup, blending until well incorporated. Add water a teaspoon at a time, if necessary, until mixture holds together when pinched between two fingers.
- Press 2/3 of mixture crumble mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan, reserving 1/3 of the mixture for the topping.

- Place pan into the preheated oven, baking until crust is golden and berries are bubbly, about 30–40 minutes using fresh fruit, 40–55 minutes with frozen (time may vary depending on your oven.)
