Notes

  • For easier cleanup, use parchment paper or a crockpot liner.
  • To reduce sugar content, omit the coconut sugar and rely on the natural sweetness of the apples.
  • To make this recipe vegan, skip the egg whites and use plant-based milk. Consider adding plant-based protein powder or nut butter for added protein.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven, adding a splash of milk to maintain moisture.
