Servings: persons

1 meyer lemon
1 pound apples peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons evaporated cane juice
1 tablespoon whole wheat flour
1/2 cup steel cut oats or rolled
1/4 cup raw almonds coarsely ground
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons evaporated cane juice
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch cardamom
3 tablespoons butter melted, preferably organic and grass-fed

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2
Begin preparing the Meyer lemon by zesting the skin and setting the zest aside.
3
Peel the remaining skin off the lemon with a knife. Slice the pulp segments from their side skins into a medium bowl. Squeeze any remaining juices left in the segment skins into the bowl with the pulp. Remove any stray seeds from the bowl, and crush or break the pulp apart. Add the apples and toss them with the lemon juice. Add the sugar and flour and mix thoroughly until the apple pieces are well coated in a caramel colored glaze. Spread the apples into the bottom of a small baking dish.
4
In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almonds, whole wheat flour, evaporated cane juice, cinnamon, cardamom, and lemon zest. Once everything is well mixed, incorporate the melted butter and mix until all of the dry ingredients have been moistened by the butter. Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the apples.
5
Bake for 30-40 minutes, just until the crumble topping begins to brown.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
