This Healthy Breakfast Apple Crumble is a cozy, nourishing way to start your day — made with tender apples, rolled oats, crunchy walnuts or pecans, and naturally sweetened with honey. It’s gluten-free (if needed), dairy-free, refined sugar-free, and perfect for breakfast or a light dessert. Bakes in under 30 minutes and tastes like warm apple pie — without the guilt!

Ingredients

  • Apple Filling:
  • 3 medium sweet apples, chopped (e.g., Fuji, Gala)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • Crumble Topping:
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ⅓ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
  • 1½ tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, combine apples, cinnamon, coconut oil, and salt. Cover and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples begin to soften.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. In a small bowl, stir together oats, chopped nuts, melted coconut oil, honey, and water until evenly combined and crumbly.
  4. Transfer the apple mixture to a small oven-safe dish or skillet. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden and crisp on top.
  5. Let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with yogurt, a splash of almond milk, or ice cream for dessert.

Notes

  • Add raisins or chopped dates to the filling for extra sweetness.
  • Swap nuts for seeds for a nut-free version.
  • Double the recipe for meal prep or family-style brunch.
  • Use maple syrup to make this fully vegan.
  • For extra crunch, toast the nuts briefly before mixing.
