This recipe is made even more special because it is a family favourite shared by my bestie Winnie! Here she uses the sweetness of the apples so you don’t have to add any sugar! Prepare for the house to be filled with the sweet aromas of cinnamon and spice!

Serve with Greek yoghurt and honey for a healthy breakfast option or with vanilla ice-cream for a crowd-pleaser dessert!

Ingredients 

APPLE FILLING

5 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, core removed, and sliced into small wedges 

 1/3 cup honey 

 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 

 1/4 teaspoon allspice 

4 x cloves 

TOPPING

 1 cup oats 

 1/2 cup almond meal 

 1/2 cup flaked coconut 

 1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped 

 Pinch sea salt 

 4 tbsp coconut oil, melted

Method 

Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees. Place prepared apples, honey and spices into a bowl and toss to coat. Pour into the baking dish and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until apples have softened. 

Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, stir together oats, almond meal, pecans, coconut and salt. Mix in melted coconut oil and stir until dry ingredients have moistened throughout. 

Once apples have baked, give them a stir. 

Evenly distribute the crumble topping over the apples. Note: no need to pack down. 

Return to oven and bake for a further 30 minutes or until filling is bubbling around the edges and the top is golden brown.
