Ingredients
6 sweet apples, chopped
1 tbsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt
2 tsp coconut oil
2/3 cup oats
2/3 cup pecans
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 tsp honey
1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Chop the apples into small pieces so they cook evenly.
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat and sauté the apples with cinnamon, salt, and 2 tsp coconut oil for about 2 to 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Place the oats, pecans, 1 tbsp coconut oil, honey, and water in a food processor or blender and blend until the mixture forms a sticky, crumbly texture.
- Lightly grease a small baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Spread the sautéed apples evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
- Crumble the oat mixture over the apples, allowing small chunks to form for a crunchy topping.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the topping is golden brown.
- Allow the crumble to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Walnuts or almonds can be used instead of pecans for a different nutty flavor.
Add raisins or chopped dates to the apples for extra natural sweetness.
Mix a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger with the apples for a deeper autumn flavor.
Serve with Greek yogurt, milk, or nut butter for added protein at breakfast.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat in the microwave for 30–40 seconds or in the oven at 160°C (320°F) for 8–10 minutes to restore crispness.
Use certified gluten-free oats if you need a gluten-free version.
The baked crumble can be frozen for up to 2 months and reheated in the oven.
