Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), peeled and sliced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (or 2–3 tbsp monk fruit/erythritol)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (or arrowroot)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder (about 1 scoop)
  • 1/3 cup almond flour (or oat flour)
  • 1/3 cup chopped almonds (optional)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsp melted butter (or coconut oil)
  • 3 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • High-protein vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt (optional)
  • Extra cinnamon for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with lemon juice, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, cornstarch, and salt until coated. Spread evenly in the dish.
  3. In another bowl, mix oats, protein powder, almond flour, chopped almonds, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Stir in melted butter, applesauce, and maple syrup (if using) until the topping forms chunky clumps.
  5. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.
  6. Bake 30–35 minutes, until apples are bubbly and tender and the top is golden.
  7. Cool 10 minutes to thicken, then serve warm with a scoop of high-protein vanilla ice cream/frozen yogurt and a pinch of cinnamon.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for best texture.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste with maple syrup, honey, or sugar substitutes.
  • For extra crunch, add chopped almonds to the topping.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor.
