Recipe: Simple Apple Crisp

Recipes
Written By Megan Karp

The other day, I came home from the gym and walked into this incredible aroma — like Fall had entered my home in the sweetest sense.

What is that?, I asked our helper, Sarah.

I made apple crisp! she said.

Okay, not joking, this was without a doubt the highlight of my entire week. There is something so special about what apple crisp does to our souls this time of year — it warms the home and heart, while being so delicious and festive.

I love this recipe in particular because, to me, it’s just enough sweetness without feeling heavy or overindulgent. It’s become my favorite dessert.

I hope you love this one too!

INGREDIENTS

  • 3-4 large apples; cored, thinly sliced

  • ¾ cup coconut oil

  • ¼ cup real maple syrup

  • 3 tablespoon coconut sugar

  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon

  • ½ cup almond flour

  • ½ cup old fashioned oats

  • Salt to taste

DIRECTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 350 and lightly oil a 9x9 glass pan or casserole dish.

  • Heat ¼ cup coconut oil in a sauté pan on the stove. Add your sliced apples, maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of the coconut sugar and 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring regularly, until apples start to caramelize.

  • Transfer your apple mixture to your oiled pan and spread into an even layer.

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine your almond flour, oats, remaining cinnamon and salt. Mix gently with a fork until no lumps remain.

  • Gently heat the remaining ½ cup coconut sugar on the stove. Once liquified, remove from heat and pour over dry ingredients in bowl. Mix the oil and dry ingredients together with a fork until crumbly. Spread your crumble topping evenly over your apples.

  • Bake at 350 for 25-30 min. Serve by itself, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
