🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is super important for even baking!
  2. Core the apples using an apple corer or a paring knife. Be careful not to cut through the bottom of the apples; you want to create a well for the filling. I accidentally went right through one last time! Don't be like me.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Stir well to ensure everything is nicely combined.
  4. In a seperate bowl, combine 1/4 cup oat flour, and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  5. Spoon the butter and spice mixture into the wells of the cored apples, dividing it evenly among them. Follow up with a bit of oat flour and walnut mixture.
  6. Next, lets make the crumble! In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, oat flour, brown sugar (or coconut sugar), melted butter, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This is my fav part!
  7. Spoon the crumble topping over the filled apples, pressing lightly to help it adhere. Don't be shy—pile it high!
  8. Place the filled apples on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This makes cleanup a breeze!
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crumble topping is golden brown. The apples should be easily pierced with a fork.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt is the perfect complement. I prefer vanilla bean, but hey to each their own!
