- 2 Gala apples (or apple of choice), cored and sliced into 1/4-inch slices
- 2 pears, cored and sliced into 1/4-inch slices
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted and cooled

- 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon

- 1/8 tsp salt
How to Make It
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8×8 baking pan or a pie dish with coconut oil.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, toss together the apple and pear slices with cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, coconut oil, salt, lemon juice, and zest. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the oats, maple syrup, coconut oil, cinnamon, walnuts, and salt until well combined. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit mixture.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it as is, or pair it with a scoop of vanilla yogurt or coconut cream for extra indulgence!
Recipe Tips
- Customize Your Fruit: Swap out the apples or pears for other seasonal favorites like peaches or plums.
