Ingredients:

  • 6 large Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apples (approx. 900g), peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp arrowroot powder
  • 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/3 cup solidified coconut oil
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish with coconut oil.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon, nutmeg, and arrowroot powder until evenly coated.
  3. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading them into an even layer.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine oats, almond flour, chopped pecans, salt, and 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon. Add the coconut oil and 3 tablespoons of maple syrup. Use a fork to work the fat into the dry ingredients until a crumbly texture forms.
  5. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple filling.
  6. Bake in the center rack for 40–45 minutes until the juices are bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
  7. Let the crisp rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.
