Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
- 2 scoops (approx. 60g) Vanilla whey or casein protein powder
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon, divided
- 1/4 cup Sugar-free maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Cold light butter or coconut oil
- 1/4 cup Water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Peel, core, and thinly slice your apples. Ensure the slices are uniform in thickness so they cook evenly at the same rate.
- Place the sliced apples in a large mixing bowl. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, the lemon juice, and the sugar-free maple syrup. Pour the water over the mixture and stir until every apple slice is coated. Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading them out into an even layer.
- In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, protein powder, and the remaining tablespoon of cinnamon. Add the cold butter or coconut oil. Use a fork or your fingers to work the fat into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of water or applesauce to help it clump.
- Sprinkle the protein crumble evenly over the top of the apple layer. Place the dish in the center rack of the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. You will know it is done when the apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the topping is golden brown and crisp. Let it sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.
