Maple-Pecan Apple and Cherry Crumble

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray


  • 2 lb

    baking apples (Granny Smith, Empire, or Cortland), peeled and diced

  • 2 tbsp

    maple syrup

  • 1/2 c

    fresh cherries, pitted and chopped

  • 1/4 tsp

    ground nutmeg

  • 5 tbsp

    unsalted butter

  • 1/4 c

    rolled oats

  • 1/4 c

    finely chopped pecans

  • 3 tbsp

    all-purpose flour

  • 3 tbsp

    light brown sugar

  • Pinch kosher salt


  • Greek yogurt (optional)


Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. You can also do individual souffle cups, as pictured - just adjust baking time to about 30-minutes total, checking periodically.
  2. In a large bowl, combine diced apples with maple syrup, cherries, True Lemon water, and nutmeg. Melt 2 tablespoons butter and toss into apple mixture; stir until coated.
  3. In separate bowl, mix oats, pecans, flour, sugar, and salt. Cut the remaining 3 tablespoons butter into small pieces. Add butter pieces to oat mixture and blend your fingers until large crumbs form.
  4. Pour apple mixture into prepared baking pan (or souffle cups) and top with an even layer of the crumble mixture. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until apples are very tender and the topping is golden brown.
  5. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool for 15 to 20 minutes.
  6. Serve warm, with a dollop of Greek yogurt if desired.
