Stewed Apple Crumble with Oat Topping (Dairy-Free)

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large saucepan, combine sliced apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup.

Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until apples are slightly softened but still hold their shape, about 8-10 minutes. This creates the stewed apple base.

Transfer the apple mixture to a 9-inch baking dish.

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, brown sugar, and chopped pecans (if using).

Cut in the cold dairy-free butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apple mixture.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly.

Let cool slightly before serving.
