Ingredients

4 Gala apples sliced in half lengthwise, core removed
Juice of 1 lemon
⅓ cup coconut oil softened
½ cup spelt flour (or whole wheat flour)
¼ cup brown sugar packed
½ cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a medium baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange cored apple halves on the tray, cut side up. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the coconut oil, flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Using a pastry blender (or clean hands), combine the ingredients until you have pea sized crumbs and there is no dry flour remaining.
Fill each apple core with enough streusel to form a small mound, then sprinkle each filled apple with lemon juice. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the apple juices start to run and they are easily pierced with a knife.
Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of your favourite dairy free vanilla ice cream or whip.

Notes

All-purpose flour can be used instead of whole wheat or spelt flour. You can also use a non-dairy vegan butter in equal measure instead of coconut oil. The baked streusel apples will last covered in the fridge for 3 days.
