Apple Crisp
Ready to fill your house with the irresitable smell of bubbling apples, cinnamon, oats, and pecans? This apple crisp is a show stopping dessert that happens to be gluten free, refined sugar free, and I've given options to make it dairy free as well. What's better than a dessert you can feel good about eating for breakfast the next day?!
Servings: 12
Ingredients
Filling:
- 10 cups apples, peeled and sliced granny smith or locally harvested apples
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- pinch sea salt
Crumble Topping:
- 2 cups old fashioned oats certified GF if necessary
- 2/3 cup almond flour
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- pinch sea salt
- 1 cup butter, cold and cubed sub ghee or coconut oil for dairy free
For serving:
- Vanilla Ice Cream (dessert) dairy free if desired
- Plain Greek Yogurt (breakfast) sub coconut yogurt for dairy free
Instructions
Filling:
- Preheat oven to 350F. Butter or grease a 9 /12 x 11" pan.
- If using frozen apples, thaw and drain in a colander before using. Combine the filling ingredients in a mixing bowl. Stir until well combined. Pour into prepared pan.
Crumble Topping:
- Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Add cubed butter and squish mixture together with your hands (or use a pastry cutter) until it comes together in a doughy crumble texture.
- Spread crumble evenly over apples in prepared pan.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until filling is bubbling, topping is browned, and apples are soft to the prick of a knife. Cover with foil if topping is browning too quickly.
- Serve warm with ice cream or greek yogurt (dairy free if desired).
