Gluten-Free Apple Crisp (With Vegan Option)
Supplies
- Apple corer
- 8 x 8-inch glass baking dish
Ingredients
- 4 cups sliced AND pared organic tart apples*
- ¾ cup Christmas Cookie Blend OR organic coconut sugar
- ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- ½ cup organic gluten-free sprouted organic oats
- ¾ teaspoon organic ground Ceylon cinnamon, PLUS more to taste
- ¾ teaspoon organic nutmeg
- Organic pumpkin pie spice powder (optional)
- ⅓ cup grass-fed organic sea-salted butter, softened OR melted OR ⅓ cup coconut oil, extra-virgin AND unrefined AND ¼ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt OR sea salt, ground
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a square 8×8 pan with unrefined (non propellant) coconut oil, avocado oil OR olive oil cooking spray. Place the sliced apples in the baking dish, distributing them evenly.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Christmas Cookie Blend, flour, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin pie spice (if using). Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the apples and top with more pumpkin pie spice powder if desired.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown. Serve with Coconut Milk Whipped Cream or Coconut Milk Vanilla Ice Cream
Notes
*We prefer using a combination of different types of apples, as that gives the apple crisp a well-rounded flavor.
Dessert Bar Variation: You can also double the topping to create a dessert bar. Press half of the topping into the bottom, add the apple mixture, and top with the rest of the topping.
