Ingredients
Scale
6 medium apples (Granny Smith, Fuji, or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup rolled oats (not instant)
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar (or less, to taste)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, lemon juice, maple syrup (or honey), 1 tsp cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss to coat evenly. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate medium bowl, combine rolled oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Pour melted butter (or coconut oil) over the oat mixture and mix with a fork until crumbly.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple filling.
Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
Let cool slightly before serving. Delicious warm with a scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
Notes
Apples can be a mix of varieties for best flavor and texture.
