Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan or springform pan with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, rolled oats, half of the erythritol (1/4 cup), and salt. Mix well until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and applesauce until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. The batter should be thick.
Pour about two-thirds of the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
In another bowl, toss the mixed berries with the remaining erythritol (1/4 cup), lemon juice, and lemon zest to coat evenly.
Spread the berry mixture evenly over the batter in the cake pan.
Dollop the remaining batter over the berries in small spoonfuls. It's fine if it doesn't cover the berries completely; this creates the crumble effect.
Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your sugar-free berry crumble cake as a delightful dessert or snack!
