Ingredients

Apple Mixture

  • 6 sweet apples, chopped
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 tsp coconut oil

Crumble Topping

  • 2/3 cup oats
  • 2/3 cup pecans
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tsp honey
  • about 1 tbsp water (for processing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Chop the sweet apples into bite-sized pieces. Heat 2 teaspoons of coconut oil in a pan over medium-high heat and sauté the apples along with 1 tablespoon cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Cover the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until the apples start to soften.
  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to prepare for baking the crumble.
  3. Make the Crumble Topping: Place the oats, pecans, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, 2 teaspoons honey, and about 1 tablespoon of water into a food processor. Pulse until the mixture forms a crumbly texture that sticks together, creating larger crumble pieces.
  4. Assemble the Crumble: Lightly oil a small baking pan or line it with parchment paper. Spread the sautéed apples evenly in the pan. Then, press and spread the crumble mixture over the apples, forming larger crumble pieces for a nice texture.
  5. Bake: Place the assembled crumble in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crumble topping turns golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve: Allow the apple crumble to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with milk or yogurt for a healthy breakfast, or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.

Notes

  • Use sweet apples such as Fuji or Gala for the best natural sweetness.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free; ensure oats are certified gluten-free if needed.
  • You can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds if preferred.
  • For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Serve with your choice of yogurt or milk for a balanced meal or with ice cream for dessert.
