Ingredients
    For the Apple Filling:
  • 6 medium apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (or arrowroot powder for gluten-free option)
    • For the Crisp Topping:
  • 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour (or whole wheat flour for a non-gluten-free option)
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
    Prepare the Apples
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices. Place them in a mixing bowl and toss with lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Stir well to coat evenly.
    2. Transfer to Baking Dish
  2. 2
    Grease a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking dish lightly with coconut oil or butter. Spread the apple mixture evenly in the dish.
    3. Make the Crisp Topping
  3. 3
    In another bowl, mix the rolled oats, almond flour, chopped nuts, cinnamon, and salt. Add in the melted coconut oil, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract. Stir until a crumbly texture forms.
    4. Assemble and Bake
  4. 4
    Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the apples. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling.
    5. Cool and Serve
  5. 5
    Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 5 minutes. Serve warm with Greek yogurt, sugar-free whipped cream, or a scoop of dairy-free ice cream.
Note
  • For a sweeter taste, add 1-2 tbsp of monk fruit sweetener or stevia to the apple mixture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 150°C (300°F) for 10 minutes.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute the chopped nuts with pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds.
