6 sweet apples
1 tbsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt

Chop the apples and sauté them in a pan with the 2 tsp of coconut oil, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt over medium-high heat. Cover the pan for 2–3 minutes to help the apples soften.

Squeeze the crumble mixture to form bigger pieces and spread these over the apples.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the crumble is golden brown.
