- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp raisins optional
- ½ cup rolled oats or gluten-free oats if needed

- 2 tbsp chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts

Instructions
Prep the Apples :
- Peel and dice 2 medium apples.
- Toss them with natural sweetener, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice and raisins.
- Mix everything together and divide it evenly into small ramekins.
Prepare the Crumble Topping :
- In a separate bowl, combine: rolled oats, almond flour (or oat flour), chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts), coconut oil (melted) and maple syrup
- Stir until it forms a crumbly mixture.
Assemble:
- Sprinkle the topping generously over the apples in each ramekin, covering them completely.
Bake:
- Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the apples are tender.
Cool and Serve:
- Let the crumbles cool for a few minutes before serving.
- For extra indulgence, top with Greek yogurt or a scoop of ice cream.
Notes
-
- Use Fresh, Firm Apples: for the best texture and flavor.
-
- Adjust Sweetness: Different apple varieties have different sweetness levels. Taste and adjust the sweetener as needed.
-
- Avoid Soggy Crumble: Pre-cook the apples for a few minutes or pat them dry to reduce moisture, ensuring the topping stays crispy.
