This healthy apple crumble combines tender, spiced apples with a crunchy, nutty oat topping, naturally sweetened with dates for a nutritious twist. It’s a warm and comforting dessert, with wholesome ingredients that pair perfectly with a scoop of yogurt or a drizzle of coconut cream.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

2 medium apples (about 150 grams each), peeled, cored, and chopped
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg powder (optional)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
40 grams rolled oats
20 grams almond flour
1 teaspoon coconut oil (melted)
1 tablespoon chopped walnuts
1-2 dates (chopped) for natural sweetness

Procedure:

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a small baking dish lightly.
In a bowl, combine chopped apples, cinnamon powder, nutmeg powder, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss until apples are well coated.
In a separate bowl, mix oats, almond flour, melted coconut oil, chopped walnuts or pecans, and chopped dates. Stir until combined and crumbly in texture.
Spread the apple mixture evenly in the baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly on top of the apples.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Nutritional Benefits:

Apples are high in dietary fiber, especially pectin, which supports digestive health and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. They are also rich in vitamin C and antioxidants that support immunity and skin health.
Almond flour and oats provide a balanced source of healthy fats, fiber, and protein, which contribute to heart health and keep you feeling fuller longer. The use of dates as a natural sweetener offers essential minerals like potassium and magnesium without added sugars, while walnuts provide omega-3 fatty acids. This apple crumble is a wholesome, nutrient-rich treat with a balance of flavors and textures to satisfy sweet cravings.
