Ingredients
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour or gluten free flour of choice
- 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- Optional: ½ tsp ground ginger or 2 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 cup rolled oats
- 2/3 cup unsalted butter, cold

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350° F.

- Cut ½ inch off the tops of the apples and save. Remove the core/seeds and discard. Scoop out the apple and keep flesh, leaving a 2 cm border around the edge. A melon baller is a good tool for this.
- Dice scooped out apple and remaining apple tops and combine with the crumble mixture.
- Place apples on a lined baking pan and press crumble mixture (about 1/3 cup per apple) into the apples and evenly over the top.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until apples are tender and the crumble is golden.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
