2. Peel the apples if you like, core them and slice about 5 mm (1/4 inch) thick. Toss in the dish with the lemon juice, half the cinnamon, the maple syrup and cornstarch.

3. Melt the butter, then mix it with the oats, protein powder, chopped pecans, brown sugar and the rest of the cinnamon until it forms clumps.

4. Scatter the crumble evenly over the apples.
