Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 scoops (approx 60g) vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil or grass-fed butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Ensure every apple slice is evenly coated in the spices. Transfer the apple mixture into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading them out into an even layer.
- In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, almond flour, and sea salt. Stir these dry ingredients together first. Pour in the melted coconut oil and maple syrup. Use a fork or your fingers to mix until the texture becomes crumbly and slightly clumped. Avoid over-mixing; you want those signature “crumble” chunks.
- Evenly sprinkle the protein crumble topping over the apples in the baking dish. Place the dish in the center rack of the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. You will know it is done when the apples are tender and the topping has turned a beautiful golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.
