Equipment
- mixing bowls
- pastry cutter or fork
- 9-inch pie dish
- oven
- spatula or spoon
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup brown sweetener (like Brown Swerve)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 medium apples, peeled and sliced
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp almond flour
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup brown sweetener
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Mix the topping ingredients together — oats, almond flour, brown sweetener, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and cold butter. Use a pastry cutter or hands to create a crumble. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk melted butter with almond flour, lemon juice, almond milk, vanilla extract, sweetener, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Add the sliced apples to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the mixture.
- Grease a 9-inch pie dish and spread the apple mixture evenly inside. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Tip: Slice apples evenly for uniform baking and balanced texture. Adjust sweetness by tasting the apple mixture before baking. For added flavor, sprinkle chopped nuts or a pinch of nutmeg over the topping before baking.
