Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free oats if needed)
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease your baking dish.
  2. Slice the apples into thin pieces. Toss them with lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until they’re well-coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned apples evenly in your prepared baking dish.
  4. In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, the remaining cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the oat mixture. Stir until it forms clumps.
  6. Sprinkle the oat topping generously over the apples, making sure they’re fully covered.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  8. Allow the crumble to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a lighter option, swap brown sugar for coconut sugar, or go dairy-free with coconut oil. Consider adding nuts for extra texture!
