Ingredients

For the fruit filling

  • 4 apples peeled and cored
  • 2 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon cardamom
  • 2 tablespoon apple juice

For the oat topping

  • 1.5 cups oats gluten free, if required
  • 2 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
  • ½ teaspoon cardamom
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoon coconut oil melted
  • small pinch salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C / 360F.
  • Scatter the apple slices into your ovenproof dish, drizzle with honey, pour over the apple juice and sprinkle over the cardamom.
  • Add all the ingredients for the oat topping to a bowl and stir well to combine. Spoon onto the fruit filling.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes. Keep a watch after 20 minutes for any signs of burning. If the top is looking as though it could burn but the apples aren't softened, loosely place a piece of aluminium foil over the dish and bake until done.

Notes

  • Slice the apples to the size of your preference. The smaller they are the more likely they will go gooey, so adjust size to the texture you like!
  • Stir the oat toppings very thoroughly so the wet ingredients combine well with the dry.
  • Watch for signs of burning in the last ten minutes as it can turn fast.
