Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
- 2 cups Honeycrisp apples, peeled and diced
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 cup all-natural drippy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1/4 cup raw walnuts, chopped
- 1/4 cup vanilla whey protein powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF and lightly coat a 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, toss the diced Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples with chia seeds and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup until evenly coated. Spread this mixture in the prepared baking dish.
- In another bowl, mix the nut butter, quick-cooking oats, chopped walnuts, vanilla whey protein powder, and 1/4 cup of maple syrup until it forms moist crumbles.
- Spread the protein crumble evenly over the apple mixture, avoiding packing it down. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until the edges start to brown.
- Cover the dish loosely with foil and continue baking for an additional 15–20 minutes, until the apple juices bubble and the apples are tender.
- Once done, cool the dish for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with an optional drizzle of nut butter or maple syrup.
