Step by step
- 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and the erythritol for the filling. Toss gently to coat the apples evenly.

Cook’s note: Using a mix of tart and sweet apples can add more depth of flavor.

Pour the apple mixture into an oven-safe baking dish, about 9x13 inches or similar.

In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, and the erythritol for the crumble topping.
About 2 min
- 5
Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Use your fingertips or a pastry blender to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until coarse crumbs form.
About 7 min
Cook’s note: Work quickly to prevent the butter from melting too much, which helps create a crispier crumble.

Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the apple mixture in the baking dish.
About 1 min

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbling.
