This healthy apple crumble is made with wholesome oats and whole-grain flour, using less butter and sugar than traditional versions while still tasting wonderfully warm and comforting. Juicy apples are tossed with cinnamon and topped with a crisp, golden streusel that bakes up beautifully in one casserole dish or individual ramekins. It’s an easy, cozy dessert that’s perfect for cold days.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced (200°C top/bottom heat).

Wash the apples, remove the cores, and cut the apples into small cubes. Place the apples in a pot, add cinnamon and a tablespoon of water, cover, and simmer over medium-high heat for five to ten minutes.

Knead together oat flakes, flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt and melted butter to form crumbles.

Place apples in a baking dish, sprinkle crumble over them and bake in the oven for 25 minutes, until the crumble is golden brown and crispy.

Let the crumble cool for five to ten minutes, then serve as is or with vanilla ice cream, Greek yogurt or soy yogurt.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Apple Selection Magic 🍎
Choose a mix of tart Granny Smith and sweet Honeycrisp apples to create a perfectly balanced flavor profile with complex depth and texture.
Streusel Technique Perfection 🥣
Use cold butter and work it into the dry ingredients with your fingertips, creating pea-sized crumbs that ensure a crispy, golden topping with optimal texture.
Moisture Control Pro 💧
Toss sliced apples with a small amount of cornstarch before adding cinnamon to absorb excess moisture and prevent a soggy bottom in your crumble.
Whole Grain Crunch Hack 🌾
Toast the rolled oats and whole wheat flour in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before mixing to enhance their nutty flavor and improve overall crumble texture.
Portion and Bake Strategy 🔥
For individual ramekins, reduce baking time by 10-15 minutes and cover with foil if the top browns too quickly to ensure even cooking throughout.
