Description

This Healthy Breakfast Apple Crumble is a wholesome twist on the classic dessert, featuring sautéed sweet apples with cinnamon and a crunchy pecan-oat crumble topping. Lightly sweetened with honey and coconut oil, this recipe is perfect for a nutritious breakfast or a cozy dessert.

Ingredients

Apple Mixture

  • 6 sweet apples, chopped
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tsp coconut oil

Crumble Topping

  • 2/3 cup oats
  • 2/3 cup pecans
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tsp honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Chop the sweet apples into bite-sized pieces. Heat 2 teaspoons of coconut oil in a pan over medium-high heat, then add the apples along with 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Sauté, stirring occasionally, and cover the pan for 2-3 minutes to soften the apples.
  2. Preheat the Oven: While the apples cook, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to get it ready for baking the crumble.
  3. Make the Crumble Topping: In a food processor, combine 2/3 cup oats, 2/3 cup pecans, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, and 2 teaspoons honey. Add about 1 tablespoon of water and pulse until you get a crumbly mixture that sticks together but still has some texture.
  4. Assemble the Crumble: Lightly oil a small baking pan or line it with parchment paper. Spread the sautéed apples evenly across the base. Then press the crumble mixture into bigger chunks and evenly distribute it over the apples to form a thick topping.
  5. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crumble topping turns golden brown and crisp.
  6. Serve: Allow the apple crumble to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it with milk or yogurt for a healthy breakfast, or with ice cream for a comforting dessert.

Notes

  • You can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds if preferred.
  • For a vegan version, make sure your honey is replaced with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Add a splash of vanilla extract to the crumble mix for extra aroma.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Use ripe, sweet apples like Fuji or Gala for the best natural sweetness.
