Ingredients Needed

For the filling:

• 5 medium apples (about 5 cups / 700g), diced into ¼ inch cubes
• 3 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon apple pie spice or ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ginger, ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon (8g) cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons (30ml) lemon juice

For the oat crumble:

• 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
• ½ cup oat flour (50g) (can substitute with whole wheat flour, almond flour, or gluten-free flour)
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons (45ml) pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons (30g) butter, melted

How To Make Healthy Apple Crumble

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-inch (25cm) round pie dish.
2. Prepare the apple filling: In a medium bowl, mix the diced apples with cinnamon, apple pie spice (or the combined spices), cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir to coat the apples evenly.
3. Assemble the filling: Pour the apple mixture into the greased pie dish, pressing it down to create an even layer.
4. Make the crumble topping: For the crumble, combine oats, oat flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. Create a well in the center, then add maple syrup and melted butter. Stir with a fork until the mixture forms a crumble.
5. Top the apples: Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples, ensuring it’s evenly spread. If you prefer more crumble, double the topping.
6. Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crumble is golden and the apples are bubbling at the edges.
7. Cool and serve: Allow the crumble to cool slightly before serving.

Recipe Tips

• Use tart apples: Choose tart apples like Granny Smith for the best balance of sweetness and tartness in the filling.
• Don’t skip the cornstarch: Adding cornstarch helps thicken the apple juices, giving you a perfect, gooey filling without being runny.
• Let the crumble cool slightly: Allow the crumble to cool for a few minutes before serving, so the filling sets and it’s easier to scoop.
• Double the crumble for extra crunch: If you love the topping, double the crumble mixture for a thicker, crunchier layer.
• Use room temperature butter: For a smoother crumble topping, make sure the butter is melted but not too hot. This ensures it mixes easily with the dry ingredients.

How To Store Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover apple crumble cool to room temperature. Then, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: To freeze, cover the crumble tightly with plastic wrap and foil or place it in an airtight container. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Before serving, thaw in the fridge overnight and serve cold or at room temperature.
