Ingredients

  • 6 cups apples (about 8 cups) (peeled, cored, cut into ½" chunks)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Topping

  • 1 cup uncooked old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • ⅓ cup milled flaxseed meal (or flour of your choice)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup (or brown sugar)
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 °F . Lightly spray an 8x8" baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Peel, and core the apples. Cut them into ½"-inch chunks. Any type of apples will do fine for this. I used Gala apples because they are cheap, crisp and sweet. Honeycrisp apples and Granny Smith apples also work especially well.
  • In a large bowl, toss the apples with the cornstarch, sweetener, chia seeds, lemon juice and cinnamon.
  • Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  • In another bowl, stir together the oats, pecans, flaxseed meal, maple syrup, canola oil, cinnamon and salt.
  • Evenly spread the topping on top of the apples.
  • Put the baking pan in the oven to bake for about 45 minutes. It's done when the topping has turned lightly golden-brown.

Notes

This crumble actually works with any type of fruit. Pears and peaches would be nice, too.
