High-Protein Apple Crumble: 25 g Protein Per Bowl
Apple crumble is the best thing about autumn. This version keeps the crunchy topping and the warm apples, and adds a proper dose of protein.
A classic crumble is apples, butter, flour and sugar, with almost no protein. Swap the flour for oats and ground almonds, add a little protein powder to the topping and serve it with skyr instead of custard.

Frequently asked questions
Can I make it without protein powder?
Yes. The skyr on top brings most of the protein. Without powder in the topping, each bowl still has roughly 20 g.
Can I eat apple crumble for breakfast?
With skyr it is basically warm baked oats with fruit – a perfectly good high-protein breakfast. See high-protein baked oats.
How long does it keep?
3 days in the fridge. Reheat in the oven to keep the topping crunchy.
