• Preheat the oven to 180°C.
• Place the dates in a small bowl and fill with boiling water. Allow them to soak for 5-10 minutes.

Cook the apple slices

• Peel, core and chop the apple slices into chunks about 2 x 2 cm.
• Place the slices in a bowl and coat them with the 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix in the 1½ teaspoons of cinnamon and stir everything together
• Lay the apple pieces out on an oven dish so that each piece has its space.
• Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.

Prepare the crumble

• While the apple slices are cooking, prepare the crumble topping by putting the pumpkin seeds in a food processor and grinding them until they are very fine.
• In a large bowl, mix the ground up pumpkin seeds with the oat flour, salt and cinnamon.
• Remove the dates from the boiling water. Chop the dates up, removing the stone.
• Put them in the bowl of the food processor along with the coconut oil, maple syrup, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix everything together. Keep mixing with your hands until a moist and crumbly mixture forms. Your crumble is ready.

Put the pie together

• Remove the apple pieces from the oven and pour 2 tablespoons of maple syrup over them.
• Now, divide the apples between your ramekins (if using), or lay them along the base of your pie dish. Begin to layer, alternating the apple mixture with the crumble.
• Top with a final layer of crumble and place in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden. Enjoy!
