Easy Oatmeal Apple Crumble
Description
Easy Oatmeal Apple Crumble combines small diced apples coated with coconut sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg to create a warmly spiced fruit filling. A crumbly topping made from old-fashioned oats, chopped walnuts, cinnamon, maple syrup, and coconut oil is layered over the apples before baking. Over 35-40 minutes at 350°F, the apples soften while the oat topping crisps and browns, forming a nicely textured contrast between tender fruit and crunchy crust.
The walnuts add a nutty depth to the oat topping, enhancing the overall texture. The maple syrup and coconut oil contribute to a moist, flavorful crumble that goes beyond simple sugar and butter mixtures. The apple filling is thickened with cornstarch, ensuring it holds together while baking rather than becoming watery.
This crumble suits casual family desserts and pairs well with cream, yogurt, or ice cream when serving. It can be baked in a casserole dish, offering easy portioning and reheating. The recipe suggests using rolled oats rather than quick oats for optimal texture.
Version adjustments include substituting coconut sugar with light brown sugar, or nuts such as pecans or almonds in place of walnuts. Leftovers keep well refrigerated up to five days, and oven variations mean checking for tender apples and browned topping as doneness cues.
Ingredients
- 1½ Cup old-fashioned oats
- ½ Cup walnuts roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
For the filling
- 6 Cups apple about 3 large apples, small diced, choice
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions

- In a mixing bowl combine together the oats, walnuts, cinnamon, maple syrup, and coconut oil. Using your fingers or a spoon stir until crumbly.
- In another bowl, toss the apples with the cornstarch, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, until evenly coated.
- Transfer the filling to the prepared dish, and gently press down with a spatula. Sprinkle evenly with the oatmeal topping.
- Bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes or until the apples are tender and the tops are crisp and brown. Enjoy!
Notes
- Rolled oats provide better texture than quick oats in the crumble topping.
- Substitute light brown sugar for coconut sugar if preferred.
- Walnuts can be replaced with pecans or almonds for nut variety.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 5 days and monitor baking closely as oven temperatures vary.
