This apple crumble is the ultimate healthy-eating comfort food. Together the warm cinnamon apples and the rich walnut topping can’t be beat. Combining apples of mixed texture works best. A firm variety such as Golden Delicious will retain its shape and texture while a Cortland will lend itself beautifully to producing a thick, delicious sauce.

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Step 2
To make the filling, mix together the apples, lemon juice, agave nectar, arrowroot powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Spoon the filling into a 9- by 13-inch glass baking pan. Pour the water over the filling to provide extra moisture.
Step 3
To make the topping, in a bowl whisk together the agave nectar, cinnamon, and canola oil. Mix the ground walnuts, chopped walnuts, rolled oats, and barley flour in a separate bowl. Combine the flour mixture and the oil mixture together and mix with your fingers until blended and crumbly. Crumble the topping evenly over the apple mixture. The topping will be wet and sticky. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbly.
Step 4
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt.
