I have an unfortunate sweet tooth. I try to curb it, but sometimes I don’t. Sometimes, however, I think in advance and then make something that’s sweet, but still on the healthy side. That’s when Smitten Kitchen inspired me! Jasmine is a very close family friend who turned me on to “crumbles” very early in my life–particularly apple crumble. This recipe calls for very few ingredients so I decided to give it a go. It was really easy and made the house smell wonderful! I made a Chocolate Oat Apple Crumble and my sweet tooth was absolutely overjoyed without killing my health.
Finished product, but not before I dove in

What’s better than sugar and butter?

- pinch of salt
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 apples
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F
- Cut up the chocolate and the apples
- In a small bowl, combine the chocolate, oats, maple syrup and salt
- In a skillet, melt butter (use medium heat) and then add the brown sugar
- Once combined, add in the apple chunks and cook for 5-8 minutes until soft
- Pour the oat mixture over evenly, trying to cover as much as possible
- Put into oven for 20-25 minutes
- Eat hot!
