Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sweetener (like Brown Swerve)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and sliced
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp almond flour
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup brown sweetener
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Equipment

  • mixing bowls
  • pastry cutter or fork
  • 9-inch pie dish
  • oven
  • spatula or spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Mix the topping ingredients together — oats, almond flour, brown sweetener, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and cold butter. Use a pastry cutter or hands to create a crumble. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk melted butter with almond flour, lemon juice, almond milk, vanilla extract, sweetener, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until well combined.
  3. Add the sliced apples to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the mixture.
  4. Grease a 9-inch pie dish and spread the apple mixture evenly inside. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples.
  5. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Tip: Slice apples evenly for uniform baking and balanced texture. Adjust sweetness by tasting the apple mixture before baking. For added flavor, sprinkle chopped nuts or a pinch of nutmeg over the topping before baking.
