Ingredients
• Filling: 2 cups pure pumpkin puree (not pie filling), 3 cups fresh apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and diced, ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, ⅓ cup pure maple syrup or coconut sugar, 1 large egg or flax egg, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves), 1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder, pinch sea salt, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• Cobbler Topping: 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if needed), ½ cup almond flour or whole wheat pastry flour, ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts, 3 tbsp coconut sugar or maple syrup, 3 tbsp melted coconut oil or light butter, ½ tsp cinnamon, pinch sea salt
• Optional: Light Greek yogurt “cream” for serving (2 tbsp Greek yogurt + 1 tsp maple syrup + pinch vanilla), pinch of cloves or cardamom for extra warmth
Instructions
• For filling: Toss diced apples with lemon juice, ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice, and 1 tbsp maple syrup to prevent browning and enhance flavor.
• In a large bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, remaining maple syrup, egg, vanilla, remaining pumpkin pie spice, cornstarch, and salt until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in spiced apples.
• Pour filling into prepared dish and spread evenly for that classic cobbler base.
• For topping: In a bowl, combine oats, almond flour, pecans, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Drizzle with melted coconut oil and mix until crumbly and evenly coated—like wet sand!
• Sprinkle topping evenly over pumpkin-apple filling, pressing gently to adhere. Don’t pack too tightly for that perfect crisp, golden texture!
• Bake 35-40 mins until filling bubbles at edges, apples are tender, and topping is golden brown and fragrant.
• Cool 10-15 minutes before serving. Dollop with optional Greek yogurt “cream” and enjoy warm for the coziest, protein-packed fall treat that tastes like autumn in every bite!

• Use firm apples that hold their shape when baked—Granny Smith for tartness, Honeycrisp for natural sweetness.
• Pat diced apples dry with a paper towel before adding to filling to prevent excess moisture and soggy topping.
• Toast pecans lightly in a dry skillet before adding to topping for deeper, nuttier flavor that elevates the whole dessert.
• Let cobbler rest 10-15 minutes after baking—this helps the filling set beautifully for cleaner, picture-perfect slices.
• Store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days; reheat individual portions in the microwave for 25-30 seconds or in a 300°F oven for 10 mins to restore that warm, cozy texture.
• Make it vegan: Use flax eggs, maple syrup, and coconut oil for a completely plant-based version that’s just as delicious!
