Ingredients

For the Caramel Sauce:

• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

For the Apple Filling:

• 6 medium apples (Granny Smith or your favorite variety), peeled, cored, and sliced
• 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Juice of 1 lemon

For the Crumble Topping:

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut sugar
• 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Caramel Sauce:

In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently.

• Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens and reduces slightly, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Prepare the Apple Filling:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

• In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, coconut sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
• Transfer the apple mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

3. Prepare the Crumble Topping:

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and crumbly.

4. Assemble and Bake:

Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the apple filling in the baking dish.

• Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.

5. Serve:

Remove the crumble from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, drizzled with the remaining caramel sauce. Enjoy with a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream if desired.
