Persimmon Crumble. Traditional recipe and also with the Thermomix. With indications for those on a diet.
With the end of the nice weather and the beginning of autumn come the persimmons, or kaki, or even apple persimmons. So, I prepared a fantastic snack for my grandchildren, delicious and practically very quick and easy to make.
It will take only a few minutes, and the fragrance will permeate the whole house.
Among the benefits of persimmons, it should be noted that they have hepatoprotective properties, meaning they protect the liver, even in the case of antibiotic treatments, because they maintain the intestinal flora in good condition.
But they are also allies of the pancreas, spleen, stomach, prostate, and intestines.

This recipe can also be made by hand or with a mixer.
In a large bowl, put the all-purpose flour, butter, egg, baking powder, and sugar, and knead, avoiding compacting the mixture; it should be crumbly. To do this, gather the mixture in your hands and rub them against each other.
Transfer 2/3 of the crumbs to the bottom of the cake pan, spreading them evenly without pressing down too much.
Spread the persimmon wedges over the bottom of the cake, covering it completely, but not reaching the edge,
and cover with the remaining crumbs, and the almond granules
Transfer to a preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes (350°F).
Let the crumble cool before removing it from the mold. Then place it on the serving plate.
Then decorate with the other persimmon wedges and mint leaves as you like.
