Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons Coconut sugar
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with coconut oil or nonstick spray.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place the apple slices in a large mixing bowl.
Add the lemon juice, maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and nutmeg to the apples. Toss until the apples are coated evenly, then transfer them to the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
In another mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, pecans, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and salt. Mix until the ingredients form a crumbly topping.
Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish, making sure to cover the fruit completely.
Bake the crisp in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
