Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 4 medium medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (use a mix for more flavor) Opt for a mix of sweet and tart apples like Fuji and Granny Smith.
  • ½ cup maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference) Can substitute with brown sugar if desired.
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
For the Topping
  • 1 cup rolled oats Can be toasted for enhanced flavor.
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour (or almond flour for a gluten-free option) Use almond flour for gluten-free.
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted (or any neutral oil) Can substitute with another neutral oil.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan with a bit of coconut oil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, half the maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Toss until the apples are well coated.
  3. Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  4. In the same bowl, mix together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, remaining maple syrup, salt, and melted coconut oil until the mixture resembles a crumbly texture.
  5. Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples, ensuring you cover as much of the fruit as possible.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the apples are bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  2. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
