Ingredients
Scale
6 medium apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup granulated sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit blend)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar (or low-sugar alternative)
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, toss the chopped apples with lemon juice, 1/4 cup of sweetener, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spread the apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In the same bowl (no need to wash!), combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt for the topping.
Cut in the cold butter cubes using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly.
Let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your warm crumble!
Notes
Jacob prefers using a mix of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor balance.
If you like a crispier topping, chill the topping mixture for 10 minutes before sprinkling it on the apples.
This pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla Greek yogurt for added protein.
