Recipe
For the crumble:
1½ cups rolled oats
½ cup gluten-free flour
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
4 tbsp. maple syrup
3 tbsp. coconut oil, melted
For the filling:
6 cups red apple, diced
2 tbsp. Arrowroot powder
1½ tsp. ground cinnamon
⅛ tsp. ground nutmeg
How to Prepare
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×8-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
To make the crumble, place the rolled oats, flour and cinnamon into a large bowl and mix together. Make a well in the center and pour in the maple syrup and melted coconut oil. Stir again until well combined.
To make the filling, toss the diced apples (no need to peel the apples) with the arrowroot, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl, ensuring the apples are completely coated.
Transfer the apples to the earlier prepared pan and gently press down with a spatula. Sprinkle over the crumble topping.
Place the pan into the hot oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until the apples are tender.
Remove the pan from the oven and set on a wire rack and cool to room temperature. Now refrigerate the crumble for at least 3 hours to allow the apple juices to fully thicken, before serving.
