Ingredients
Filling:
- 5 medium-sized apples* peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (if you want to leave the peel on you can)
- 3 tablespoons apple juice or apple cider
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Topping:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup room temperature
- ⅓ cup almond flour
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- ¼ cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8x8 baking dish. Set aside.
Filling:
- In a large bowl combine all filling ingredients. Stir until well combined. Transfer to prepared baking dish.
Topping:
- Combine melted butter and maple syrup. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, oats, nuts, cinnamon, and salt. Add the butter mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. It might be a bit more wet than a typical "crisp" topping.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples. Lightly spray a piece of foil with nonstick spray and cover the baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes (covered). Remove the foil then bake for another 25-35 minutes, until the apples are tender and the topping is light golden brown. Allow to cool slightly, serve warm with ice cream or yogurt.
Notes
*You can use any baking apples. I personally like Honeycrisp and Pink Lady, or a mix of sweet and tart apples.
