Ingredients
Scale
Apples
- 6 sweet apples, chopped
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tsp coconut oil
Crumble
- 2/3 cup oats
- 2/3 cup pecans
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tsp honey
Instructions
- Prepare Apples: Chop the apples and sauté them in a pan over medium-high heat with cinnamon, salt, and coconut oil. Cover the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes to soften and infuse the flavors.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to get it ready for baking the crumble.
- Make Crumble Topping: In a food processor, combine oats, pecans, coconut oil, and honey. Add about 1 tablespoon of water and pulse until the mixture forms a crumbly texture that can stick together. An immersion blender or regular blender can also be used.
- Assemble: Lightly oil a small baking pan or line it with parchment paper. Spread the sautéed apples evenly over the base. Then squeeze and spread the crumble topping over the apples, forming larger clumps for texture.
- Bake: Place the assembled pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the crumble turns golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Allow the crumble to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm with milk or yogurt for breakfast, or with ice cream as a dessert.
Notes
- You can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds if preferred.
- If you like a sweeter crumble, add a little extra honey to the topping.
- Using sweet apples like Fuji or Gala will enhance natural sweetness.
- For a vegan option, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Ensure the apples are not overcooked during sautéing to retain some texture.
