Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples

  • Peel and core 4 medium apples. Slice them into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish. Toss with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to prevent browning and enhance flavor. Add 1/4 cup of water.

Make the Crumble Topping

  • In a medium bowl, combine 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 2/3 cup jaggery, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 3/4 cup whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup rolled oats, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Assemble and Bake

  • Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.

Cool and Serve

  • Let the apple crumble cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
