Ingredients

  • For the apple filling:
  • 3–4 apples, peeled and diced
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger (optional)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp arrowroot powder or cornstarch
  • For the crumble topping:
  • ¾ cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup almond flour or whole wheat flour
  • ⅓ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • ¼ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup cold butter or coconut oil, cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease 4–6 ramekins.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine diced apples with maple syrup, lemon juice, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, and arrowroot powder. Stir well and divide evenly among ramekins.
  3. In another bowl, mix oats, flour, chopped nuts, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Cut in cold butter or coconut oil until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Spoon the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  6. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 25–28 minutes, or until topping is golden and apples are bubbling.
  7. Let cool slightly and serve warm, optionally topped with yogurt or ice cream.

Notes

  • Mix in pears for variation in texture and sweetness.
  • Use hazelnuts instead of pecans for a deeper nutty flavor.
  • Make dairy-free by using coconut oil and omitting brown sugar for all maple sweetness.
  • Freeze unbaked crumbles and bake from frozen with extra time.
  • Top with Greek yogurt or vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
