Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 10 small gala apples (or other semi-sweet variety (about 2 ½ lbs), quartered, cored and thinly sliced ¼ -inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unrefined coconut oil (at room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup flax seed meal
  • ⅓ cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon winter spice mix
  • ⅓ cup roughly chopped hazelnuts

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the apples, lemon juice, and maple syrup until well-combined. Transfer to an 8x8 baking dish and arrange in an even layer.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ingredients for the topping: coconut oil (it should be semi-solid), almond butter, maple syrup, oats, flax meal, coconut, sea salt, and winter spice mix. Work the crumble with your fingers or a fork until the mixture resembles pea-sized clumps. Fold in the hazelnuts and spoon the topping over the apples in an even layer.
  • Transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, crème fraiche or coconut yogurt.
