Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

2. Peel, core, and slice apples into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Place in a large bowl.

3. Add lemon juice, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to the apples. Toss to coat.

4. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch and water until smooth. Pour over apples and toss. Transfer apple mixture to the prepared baking dish.

5. In a medium bowl, combine oats, almond flour, vanilla protein powder, chopped nuts (if using), 1/4 cup maple syrup, melted coconut oil, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix with hands or a fork until crumbly.

6. Sprinkle topping evenly over apples. Place dish on a baking sheet to catch drips.

7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until apples are tender and topping is golden brown.

8. Let cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm.

Notes

For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free rolled oats. For dairy-free, ensure protein powder is plant-based and use coconut oil. Swap apples with pears, peaches, or berries. Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes or microwave 30-60 seconds. Freezes well for up to 3 months.
