Ingredients

• 6 medium Apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Chopped pecans
• 2 tablespoons Coconut sugar
• 3 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with coconut oil or nonstick spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the lemon juice, maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and nutmeg to the apples. Toss until the apples are coated evenly, then transfer them to the prepared baking dish in an even layer.

Step 4

In another mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, pecans, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and salt. Mix until the ingredients form a crumbly topping.

Step 5

Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish, making sure to cover the fruit completely.

Step 6

Bake the crisp in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
