Ingredients:

  • 4 cups (600g) peeled and sliced apples
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) maple syrup
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp (8g) cornstarch
  • 1 cup (245g) pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup (65g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp (2g) pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, maple syrup, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Microwave the mixture uncovered on high for 4-6 minutes until tender. Spread evenly across the bottom of a 9-inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, egg, and vanilla until smooth and glossy. Pour the mixture over the pre-softened apples and smooth the top.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Work the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients using fingers or a pastry cutter until pea-sized clumps form. Sprinkle the topping generously over the pumpkin layer.
  4. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-40 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the oat topping is golden brown.
