Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium apples (about 2 pounds / 900g), peeled and sliced (Honeycrisp or Fuji recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour (60g)
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar (70g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter (80ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the apples: Peel if desired, then slice into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
  3. Make the filling: In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with maple syrup, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  4. Make the oat crumble: In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in melted coconut oil (or butter) and vanilla extract until moistened and clumpy.
  5. Assemble the crisp: Transfer apple mixture to an 8×8-inch baking dish. Sprinkle oat crumble evenly over the top.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbly around the edges. If topping browns too quickly, tent with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  7. Cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow filling to set.

Notes

For extra flavor, toast the rolled oats at 350°F for 5-7 minutes before mixing into the crumble. The crisp can be assembled up to a day in advance and refrigerated; add 10 minutes to baking time. Leftovers keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To freeze, wrap unbaked crisp tightly and freeze for up to 3 months; thaw overnight and bake as directed, adding 10-15 minutes.
