Ingredients

• 6 medium Apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
• 1 cup Old-fashioned oats
• 0.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cups Chopped pecans (optional)
• 3 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar-sized oven-safe dish.

Step 2

Wash, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place the apple slices in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and the nutmeg to the apples. Toss well to coat evenly, then spread the apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

In another mixing bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, remaining ground cinnamon, pecans (if using), salt, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Stir in the melted coconut oil and the remaining 2 tablespoons of maple syrup until the mixture is crumbly and well-coated.

Step 6

Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples, creating a crisp layer on top.

Step 7

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. Check after 25 minutes to ensure the topping does not over-brown. Cover with foil if necessary.

Step 8

Remove the apple crisp from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm as is or pair with a dollop of unsweetened Greek yogurt for additional creaminess.
