Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Mixture
- 4 cups of sliced apples
- 1/4 cup of honey
- 1/4 cup of water
Crisp Topping
- 1/2 cup of oats
- 1/4 cup of almond flour
- 1/4 cup of chopped nuts
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the apple crisp evenly.
- Prepare Apple Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with honey and water. Stir well to coat the apples evenly with the sweet, moist mixture.
- Make Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, chopped nuts, and cinnamon. This dry mixture will create the crunchy topping for the crisp.
- Mix Toppings with Apples: Add the dry oat mixture to the apple mixture and stir gently but thoroughly until everything is well combined.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the combined mixture into a baking dish and then drizzle the coconut oil evenly over the top. This oil will help the topping brown nicely.
- Bake the Crisp: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy your healthy and comforting apple crisp!
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced sweet-tart flavor.
- Substitute chopped nuts with seeds for a nut-free option.
- To make it vegan, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Serving warm enhances the flavors and makes it more comforting.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
