A gluten- and sugar-free recipe.
Servings 6
Ingredients
- 6 large apples, cored, peeled, and sliced
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/3 cup real maple syrup
- 2 Tablespoon 100% apple juice, sugar-free
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- 1½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Topping Ingredients:
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/3 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup almonds, sliced
- 1/3 cup honey, preferably local
- 3 Tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
To Serve: (Optional)
- Vanilla bean ice cream or freshly whipped cream
Instructions
- Place top oven rack in the center position and pre-heat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8” x 8” baking dish and set it aside.
- In a large non-reactive bowl, toss apples with fresh lemon juice.
- Add maple syrup, apple juice, cinnamon, allspice, thyme leaves, and salt. Toss to combine and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine topping ingredients and stir until oats are thoroughly coated and all ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
- Pour apple mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer.
- Spread the topping evenly across the top in a uniform layer, as well.
- Place into the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. If the top layer is nicely browned, cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
- Continue baking for another 15-20 minutes or until the apple crisp is nice and bubbling. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Serve warm with some vanilla bean iced cream or freshly whipped cream, if desired.
