Ingredients
Scale
Apples:
- 6 sweet apples, peeled, cored, and 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
- About 1 tbsp water (for processing)
Instructions
- Prepare the apples: Chop the sweet apples into bite-sized pieces and sauté them in a pan with 2 tsp of coconut oil, 1 tbsp of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt over medium-high heat. Cover the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes to soften the apples while letting the flavors meld.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) to prepare for baking the crumble.
- Make the crumble topping: Place 2/3 cup oats, 2/3 cup pecans, 1 tbsp coconut oil, and 2 tsp honey into a food processor. Add about 1 tbsp of water to help the mixture bind and pulse until a crumbly mixture forms that sticks together when squeezed.
- Assemble the crumble: Lightly oil a small baking pan or line it with parchment paper. Spread the sautéed apples evenly across the base. Press the crumble mixture into larger clumps and scatter them over the apples to create a textured topping.
- Bake: Place the assembled crumble in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp.
- Cool and serve: Allow the apple crumble to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm with your choice of milk or yogurt for breakfast, or pair with ice cream for a delicious dessert.
