Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Chop the apples into bite-sized pieces.
Sauté the apples with the cinnamon, salt, and 2 teaspoons of coconut oil over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the oats, pecans, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, honey, and water to a food processor. Blend until the mixture becomes crumbly and holds together when pressed.
Lightly grease a small baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Spread the cooked apples evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Squeeze the crumble mixture into clusters and scatter it evenly over the apples.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the topping is crisp and golden brown.
Let the crumble cool for a few minutes before serving warm with yogurt, milk, or ice cream if desired.

Notes

Substitute walnuts or almonds for the pecans if desired.

Mix pears with the apples for extra sweetness and variety.

Add a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger for additional warm spice.

Stir raisins or dried cranberries into the apples for a naturally sweet variation.

Replace the honey with maple syrup for a vegan version.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Freeze the baked crumble for up to 2 months and thaw overnight before reheating.
