Ingredients
- 5 medium apples (about 5 cups), diced into 1/4-inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and grease a 10-inch round pie dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine diced apples, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Add vanilla extract, lemon juice, and maple syrup, then mix until the apples are evenly coated.
- Transfer the apples to the prepared pie dish and spread into an even layer.
- In another bowl, combine rolled oats, oat flour, salt, and cinnamon.
- Add maple syrup, brown sugar, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a fork to mix until a crumbly topping forms.
- Spread the crumble topping evenly over the apples, gently pressing it down.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling around the edges.
- Allow the crumble to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith for the best texture.
- Oat flour can be substituted with whole wheat flour, almond flour, or gluten-free flour.
- For extra crunch, add chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumble topping.
- Serve warm with yogurt, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
