Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 pounds apples (about 5-6 medium apples), thinly sliced*
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup rolled oats (use gluten free, if desired)
  • 1/2 cup almond meal or flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar (I prefer brown sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF and spray a 9-inch pie plate or 8x8" square baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Combine all filling ingredients in a medium bowl and transfer to pie plate. Apple slices will almost be overflowing out of pie plate.
  • Combine all crisp topping ingredients in a medium bowl. I like to use a fork to get them fully combined.
  • Evenly sprinkle crisp mixture over the top of the apples.
  • Bake for about 40 minutes and until apples are of desired softness. If after 40 minutes, crumble topping is browning, but apples are not soft enough, place tin foil over the crisp and bake another 5-10 minutes.
  • Allow to cool slightly before spooning out.
  • Serve warm and with vanilla ice cream, whipped topping or coconut cream, if desired.
