Ingredients for filling:

• 6 cups peeled and diced (quite small) apples (we like the tartness of Granny Smith with Gala or Red apples... a combo always makes for a better crumble!)

• juice of 1/2 a lime or lemon

• 2 Tbsp. cornstarch or arrowroot powder

• 1-1/2 Tbsp. ground cinnamon

• a tiny pinch of nutmeg

​

Ingredients for crumble:

• 3/4 Cup old-fashioned oats

• 1/4 Cup whole wheat flour (or gluten free flour)

• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

• 2 Tbsp. maple syrup (none of that 'fake' stuff!)

• 1-1/2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted

​

​

Here's how:

Preheat oven to 350°F and coat your pan all around with a bit of butter.

​

Prepare the crumble mixture by combining all those ingredients in a bowl, and adding melted butter - as shown on left photo.

​

In a separate bowl, combine all the filling ingredients and allow to sit for a few minutes. 

​

Transfer the filling to the baking pan and gently press down with your fingers. Then sprinkle evenly with your crumble mixture.

​

Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until the apples are fork tender. Cool completely then refrigerate for about an hour so the juices can completely thicken.
