Healthy Breakfast Apple Crumble is a cozy and naturally sweet morning dish made with cinnamon-spiced apples and a crunchy oat topping. It’s a wholesome twist on dessert that’s perfect for breakfast or meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium apples, peeled and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon water

For the crumble topping:

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ⅓ cup almond flour or whole wheat flour
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil or melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts or seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, toss apples with lemon juice, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), vanilla, and water. Spread evenly in the baking dish.
  3. In another bowl, mix oats, flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and nuts (if using) until crumbly.
  4. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  5. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the apples are soft and the topping is golden.
  6. Let cool for a few minutes before serving warm, or chill and enjoy cold later.

  • Add pears or berries to the apple base for variety.
