Healthy Apple Crisp

This healthy apple crisp recipe is low-sugar, gluten-free, and dairy-free - but you'd never know it by tasting it! For my dairy-free friends, simply serve without ice cream or cool whip or serve alongside your favorite non-dairy alternative! 

Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients

For the apples:

• 6 small apples

• 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup

• 3 Tbsp water

• 2 tsp ground cinnamon

For the crumble topping:

• 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats

• 1/2 cup almond flour

• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (I used pecans)

• 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil

• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel apples (optional) and dice into cubes of approximately equal size. In a large bowl, toss with maple syrup, water, and cinnamon. Pour apples into greased 9x9 inch baking dish.

2. In the same (now empty) bowl, add oats, almond meal, nuts, cinnamon, salt, coconut oil, and maple syrup. Stir crumble topping together and pour into baking dish on top of apples.

3. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes until apples are soft, covering pan loosely with aluminum foil halfway through to prevent from over-browning.

4. Serve hot with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
