This Wholesome Apple Crumble is the perfect embodiment of a comforting baked apple dessert, offering a nostalgic embrace reminiscent of traditional British desserts.
Ingredients
Scale:
6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup almond flour (or all-purpose flour for a non-gluten-free option)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted (or unsalted butter for non-vegan)
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with a light coat of coconut oil or butter.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss until the apples are evenly coated and the mixture becomes fragrant.
Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Ensure even distribution to promote uniform baking.
In another bowl, prepare the crumble topping by mixing the oats, almond flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, melted coconut oil, and salt. Stir until the mixture forms a coarse crumb.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish. Ensure the apples are completely covered for a delicious, even bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
Allow the wholesome apple crumble to cool slightly before serving, so the flavors can meld together beautifully.
