Ingredients
For The Apple Layer:
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil for greasing the casserole dish
- 4-5 cups apple cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder or cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Crumble Topping:
- 1 ½ cups old fashioned oats ground, 4.76 oz
- ½ cup almond flour or almond meal
- ¼ cup quinoa cooked, rinsed well and drained
- ½ cup pecan roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup coconut oil warmed and cooled
- ½ cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a casserole dish (9 X 13 or 8 X 11) generously with coconut oil. Set aside.
- To make the apple layer, mix together the apples, arrowroot powder (or cornstarch), ground cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. Drizzle it with maple syrup and lemon juice. Give it a gentle toss. Transfer to the casserole dish and spread in an even layer. Set aside.
- To make the crumble topping, mix together the oats, almond flour (or almond meal), quinoa, pecans, cinnamon and salt in a mixing bowl. Drizzle the mixture with coconut oil and maple syrup. Give it a stir to make sure that the oats are coated with all the other ingredients. Some chunky pieces are okay.
- To assemble: Spread the crumble topping evenly on top of the apple mixture.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the topping turns golden brown.
- Serve with more maple syrup, a dollop of creme fraiche or yogurt on the side.
Notes
- *** Update on November 13th: A few readers came back and said that the uncooked quinoa made it crunchier than they would like. I tried the recipe myself and thought that they have a point. Therefore, I updated the recipe as "cooked" quinoa. If you don't have quinoa on hand, feel free to use 1/4 cup almond flour to compensate.
