Easy 5-Ingredient Apple Crumble Crust
Chanel Vargas, POPSUGAR Food
Ingredients
- 2 Granny Smith apples or fruit of your choice
2 cups gluten-free oats
1/4 cup avocado oil
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons honey
- Optional: 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray an 8-inch by 8-inch baking pan with nonstick spray before lining with parchment paper. Tip: Crumble the parchment paper in your hand first to make it easier to line the paper around the shape of the pan.
- Add 1 1/2 cups of the oats to a blender or food processor and mix until the oats have turned into a fine flour, about one to two minutes.
- In a large bowl, add the remaining oats, oat flour, avocado oil (or oil of your choice), four tablespoons of honey, salt, cinnamon (optional) and baking powder.
- Combine the mixture using a spatula until a moist and crumbly dough has formed.
- Next, press 3/4 of the dough into the lined baking pan and use your fingers to form a crust around the edges.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes.
- While the crust is baking, wash, dry, and cut your fruit. Coat the fruit in one tablespoon of honey and set aside. Tip: For apples, adding one teaspoon of cornstarch and a squeeze of lemon juice can also brighten the flavors of the finished crumble.
- Once the crust is done baking, fill it with the fruit you've prepared and crumble the remaining dough evenly on top so the fruit is still showing underneath.
- Bake for 10 more minutes and cool before enjoying with a scoop of ice cream or on its own.
