Ingredients
  

Oatmeal Cup Layer

  • 1 cup gluten-free whole oats
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil

Apple Filling

  • 2 medium red apples, diced
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp tapioca starch
  • 1/4 cup real maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a muffin pan with oil, or use your fingers to rub some coconut oil in the bottom to prevent sticking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and coconut sugar. Whisk to combine, making sure there are no clumps.
  • In a smaller bowl, whisk together the eggs and melted coconut oil. Then add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon to stir and combine the ingredients. It will become a cookie dough consistency.
  • Once combined, take about 2 tbsp of the dough, roll it into a ball with your hands, and put it in the muffin pan. Use your fingers to gently form the cup by pressing down in the center, and forming it up the sides. If the dough is sticking to your fingers, just wet your hands with a little bit of water and that should help.
  • Once you have formed all of the oatmeal cups, bake them for 10-12 minutes. While they are baking, we are going to make the apple filling.
  • Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the coconut oil and let it melt, then add the apples and cinnamon. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir, making sure all of the apples are coated in cinnamon. Let them cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to get soft and lightly brown.
  • When the apples are soft, add the tapioca starch and cook for another 1-2 minutes to help prevent clumping. Lastly, add in the maple syrup and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently because you don't want the sugar to burn. This is when you will start to see a thick sauce begin to form. Remove from heat.
  • When the oatmeal cups are done baking, let them cool for about 5 minutes before removing from the pan. Then use a butter knife to carefully remove them, setting them on a wire rack to cool. Then you can use a spoon to add the apple filling to each oatmeal cup.
  • You can serve them by themselves, or with ice cream for an added treat!

Notes

  • you can use arrowroot starch or corn starch in place of the tapioca.
