Ingredients
- 2 medium apples (e.g., Gala or Honeycrisp), cored and diced
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey) for apples
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon for apples
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon water or orange juice
- 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
- 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour (optional, for a firmer crumble, or use extra oats for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted (or unsalted butter)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey) for crumble
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon for crumble
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease two small ramekins or a small oven-safe baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and water or orange juice. Toss gently until the apples are evenly coated. Divide the apple mixture between the prepared ramekins or spread it into the baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour (if using), 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Pour in the melted coconut oil and 2 tablespoons maple syrup. Mix with a fork until the mixture is well combined and forms a crumbly texture. If desired, stir in the chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Evenly sprinkle the oat crumble topping over the apple mixture in the ramekins or baking dish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the crumble topping is golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Serve warm. This crumble is wonderful on its own, or you can add a dollop of Greek yogurt or a splash of milk for an extra creamy touch.
