Ingredients
- 5 medium apples
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 6 pitted medjool dates
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add the lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves to the apples. Toss until the apples are well coated.
Step 4
Transfer the spiced apples into an 8x8 inch baking dish and spread them evenly.
Step 5
In a food processor, pulse the almonds and walnuts a few times until roughly chopped. Do not over-process; you want them to still have some texture.
Step 6
Add the shredded coconut, pitted dates, the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, coconut oil, and sea salt to the food processor.
Step 7
Pulse the mixture a few more times until everything is combined and the dates are broken down.
Step 8
Distribute the nutty mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
Step 9
Place the dish in the preheated oven, and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Step 10
Allow the apple crunch to cool for a few minutes before serving.
