Apple Filling
  • 4 large Granny Smith apples cored, peeled, and sliced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder
Protein Crumble Topping
  • 1 cup rolled oats old fashioned
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder approx 60g
  • 0.5 cup almond flour
  • 0.25 cup butter melted (or coconut oil)
  • 0.25 cup sugar-free maple syrup or honey
  • 1 pinch salt

Equipment

  • 9x9 Baking Dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Apple Corer/Slicer

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the apples into an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
  4. In the same bowl, combine oats, protein powder, almond flour, and salt.
  5. Pour the melted butter and syrup over the dry mixture. Stir until a crumbly texture forms.
  6. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.
  8. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken.

Notes

Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt for an extra protein boost. If the topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking.
