Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges, about 1/4-inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the apple slices with lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine almond flour, pecans, walnuts, remaining teaspoon of cinnamon, salt, coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is crumbly.
Spread the apple slices evenly in a baking dish (about 9x9 inches).
Sprinkle the almond flour mixture evenly over the apples.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Allow the Paleo Apple Crunch to cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy warm as is or with a dollop of coconut cream for an extra treat.
