Ingredients
Scale
Apples
- 6 sweet apples
- 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 and sauté apples: Chop the apples into bite-sized pieces. Heat 2 teaspoons of coconut oil in a pan over medium-high heat, add the chopped apples, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cover the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes to soften and infuse the apples with flavor.
- Preheat oven: While the apples are cooking, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to get it ready for baking the crumble.
- Make the crumble topping: In a food processor, combine oats, pecans, 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, honey, and a splash of water (about 1 tablespoon). Process until the mixture forms crumbly clumps that stick together but still have texture.
- Assemble the crumble: Grease a small baking pan or line it with parchment paper. Spread the sautéed apple mixture evenly in the pan. Press spoonfuls of the crumble topping over the apples, forming larger clumps for a pleasing texture.
- Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crumble topping turns a golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Allow the crumble to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm with your choice of milk, yogurt for breakfast, or a scoop of ice cream for dessert.

- You can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds if preferred.
- Ensure apples are slightly softened but not mushy after sautéing.
- This recipe can be made gluten-free if oats are certified gluten-free.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Leftover crumble can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated before serving.
