Calories: 249.2kcal
Ingredients
- 3 large apples cored and sliced into small pieces
- 2 Tablespoons apple sauce
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 ½ teaspoons arrowroot starch
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon salt divided in half
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon optional
- ½ Cup oats
- ¼ Cup pecans
- ¼ Cup almond flour
- 3 Tablespoons coconut oil or cocoa butter
- 3 Tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Core & slice your apples, and then place them in a large bowl. Add in the apple sauce, maple syrup, lemon juice, arrowroot starch, ginger, vanilla, cardamom, cinnamon, and ⅛ teaspoon salt, and mix well.
- Pour the apple mixture into your 8x8 (or 9x7) baking dish and bake for 25 minutes.
- While that bakes, put your oats, pecans, almond flour, coconut oil, coconut sugar, and ⅛ teaspoon salt into a food processor and blend in pulses until combined but not totally pulverized.
- Once your apples are done, add the topping in scoops (spread it, but don't press down) and bake for 30-35 minutes, until just starting to brown.
- Once your apple crisp is done, let it cool for at least 5 minutes and then enjoy!
Notes
APPLE TYPE: I'd recommend using the same types of apples you'd use for apple pie, such as granny smith, red delicious, or mcintosh.
