Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Filling
- 6 sweet apples, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tsp coconut oil
Crumble Topping
- 2/3 cup oats
- 2/3 cup pecans
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- 2 tsp honey
- A splash of water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Heat the oven to 180C (350F) to prepare for baking the apple crumble.
- Sauté apples: In a sauté pan, combine the chopped apples with cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and 2 teaspoons of coconut oil. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until the apples are slightly softened and infused with flavors.
- Prepare the crumble topping: In a food processor, blend oats, pecans, remaining 2 teaspoons of coconut oil, honey, and a splash of water until the mixture forms a crumbly texture that will become the topping.
- Assemble the crumble: Grease a baking pan lightly with coconut oil. Spread the sautéed apple mixture evenly at the bottom, then sprinkle the oat and pecan crumble mixture evenly over the top.
- Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp.
Notes
- Use sweet apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp for natural sweetness without adding extra sugar.
- You can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds if preferred.
- For a vegan version, ensure the honey is replaced with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Ensure the crumble topping is evenly spread for uniform baking and crispiness.
- Serve warm with a dollop of yogurt or plant-based cream for extra indulgence.
