Indulge in the comforting flavors of fall with this naturally sweetened Sugar Free Apple Cobbler, a guilt-free dessert that’s perfect for cozy nights or family gatherings. Made with crisp Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples, a warming blend of cinnamon and nutmeg, and a buttery oat-almond topping, this cobbler is a wholesome twist on a classic favorite. Sweetened naturally with the apples’ own juices and a hint of unsweetened applesauce, it’s entirely free of refined sugar. Ready in under an hour, this easy-to-make, gluten-free recipe is also adaptable for dairy-free diets with a simple coconut oil substitution. Serve it warm with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream or creamy yogurt for a delightful, health-conscious treat that doesn’t skimp on flavor.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of water to the apples. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon, salt, and chopped walnuts (if using).
Melt the butter (or coconut oil), then add it and the unsweetened applesauce to the oat mixture. Stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples, covering them completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm on its own or with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream or yogurt, if desired.
