Notes
If you don’t wish to use crumble, other options for baked apples are:
🍏 Brush the tops with a combination of melted butter and cinnamon then bake.
🍎 Drizzle with honey or maple syrup with a sprinkle of cinnamon then bake.
🍏 You can easily make these gluten free and dairy free by swapping suitable substitutions such as quinoa flakes, coconut sugar, nuttelex/coconut oil, gluten free flour.
🍎 I found ½ an apple was enough for a serving for 1 person.
🍏 I chose to use Granny Smith Apples, however you could use any apples you have at home. Perfect excuse to use up the apples from the fruit bowl.
🍎 You could even make this for a sneaky breakfast treat and serve with yoghurt.
