Apple Pumpkin Crumble

APPLE PUMPKIN CRUMBLE

I hope you are having a great fall so far! I can't tell you how excited I've been to stock up on pumpkin, squash, and all the other delicious seasonal veggies. Make sure you get out to a pumpkin farm at some point to pick up some goodies, then you'll be ready to bake!  

SO, I know I have some unique recipes on my blog, but this one is totally delicious and I had a lot of fun creating it so I hope at some point this fall you give it a whirl. I would also suggest topping your crumble off with a scoop of vanilla greek yogurt or ice cream! Enjoy! 



Let's get started: Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease 8x8in baking dish.

Ingredients: 
Crumble:
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 t salt
1 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1 1/2 t. cinnamon
4 T. Honey
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
2 T. oil (melted coconut, olive or canola oil)
1 t. vanilla

Pumpkin layer: 
3/4 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 t. cinnamon

Apple layer (pretty simple): 
1 large green apple, diced small (I cut slices instead of diced and they took a lot longer to soften upon the oven)

Directions:
1.Sift together oats, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
2.Whisk together the honey, yogurt, oil, and vanilla in small bowl.
3.Combine wet and dry ingredients. Split crumble mixture in half and press into bottom of baking dish. Setting the other aside for the top layer.
4. Mix pumpkin puree, sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl and spread evenly over the crust. 
5. Spread green apple pieces over the pumpkin layer.
6. Use your fingers to sprinkle the other half of the crumble over the apple pieces. For a finishing touch, sprinkle some walnuts or pecans on top.
7. Bake for 25 minutes. 
8. Let cool and enjoy with yogurt or ice cream on top! YUM.

HAPPY FALL BAKING!
