Description
Warm cinnamon-spiced apple slices topped with a crunchy buttery oat crumble, baked to golden perfection. This classic fall dessert is easy to make and pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a comforting treat.
Ingredients
Apples
- 4 cups sliced apples
Topping
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup almond flour (or all-purpose flour)
- ¼ cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 2 tbsp butter (melted)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
Additional
- ½ tsp cinnamon (for tossing apples)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375 °F (190 °C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature by the time your dish is ready to bake.
- Prepare the Apples: Toss the sliced apples with ½ teaspoon of cinnamon to evenly coat and enhance their flavor. Spread the spiced apples in an even layer inside a baking dish.
- Make the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour (or all-purpose flour), brown sugar (or coconut sugar), melted butter, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg. Mix until the ingredients form a crumbly texture.
- Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the cinnamon-coated apples in the baking dish. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or keto vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent touch.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, use almond flour and ensure oats are certified gluten-free.
- Serve warm with whipped cream or keto vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- You can substitute apples for pears or a mix of fall fruits if desired.
