The method

Step by step

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

  2. 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.

    About 5 min

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

  3. 3

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

    About 1 min

  4. 4

    In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, and the erythritol for the crumble topping.

    About 2 min

  5. 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.

  6. 6

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

    About 1 min

  7. 7

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

    About 35 min

    Cook’s note: If the topping browns too quickly, you can loosely cover it with foil.

  8. 8

    Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

    About 5 min
