Servings: 12 servings
Equipment
- 8-inch Square Stoneware Dish
Ingredients
Healthy Apple Crisp Filling
- 4 cups apple slices peeled and thinly sliced* (about 3 medium apples)
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon almond flour
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1-3 tablespoons water optional
Healthy Crisp Topping
- ¾ cup nuts chopped
- ½ cup unsweetened coconut chips
- ¼ cup gluten free rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons golden ground flaxseed
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon salt optional
- 1 ½ teaspoons coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with coconut oil. This is the pan I used. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add all Apple Crisp Filling ingredients: apples, coconut sugar, maple syrup, almond flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla extract. Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold until apples are fully coated and sugar mostly has dissolved. If your mixture isn’t very wet, add in water—you’ll want to see 1-2 tablespoons liquid at the bottom of your mixing bowl. I used 2 ½ tablespoons water in mine.
- Pour this mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use the spatula to smooth apples into an even layer.
- Add all Healthy Crisp Topping ingredients to a small bowl. Using a fork, stir and fold until well mixed. Pour topping evenly over apples. Once evenly spread, press down and pack the topping down firmly onto the apples—this will create a crispy, cohesive layer of topping.
- Bake for 40-60 minutes. Mine took 45 minutes. It’s done when the topping is a deep golden brown and the juice around the filling has thickened. To test, use a spoon to carefully lift up a corner of the crisp to see the juices. If it's still watery, bake for another 5 minutes.
- Allow to cool for 10-15 mins. Serve warm with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream on top. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.
