Ingredients

  • 6 large apples (mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp) , peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, divided
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup old -fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with coconut oil.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and the nutmeg until the apples are evenly coated.
  • Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading them into an even layer.
  • In a separate medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, chopped pecans, the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and the sea salt.
  • Drizzle the melted coconut oil and the remaining 2 tablespoons of maple syrup over the oat mixture. Stir until the ingredients are well-incorporated and a crumbly texture forms.
  • Sprinkle the oat crumble evenly over the top of the apples in the baking dish.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the apple filling is bubbling and the topping has turned a golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let the crisp rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the juices to thicken before serving warm.
