Ingredients

Apple Filling

  • 6 cups sliced apples (720g)
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup or sweetener of choice (30g)
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (3g)
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Oatmeal Crisp Topping

  • 1 cup rolled oats (90g) (Low carb? Make Keto Cobbler)
  • 2/3 cup spelt flour or almond flour (80g)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (I like raw cane sugar) (90g)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil or unsalted butter (or applesauce for fat free) (110g)

Instructions

  • 1. Start by peeling the apples. Alternatively, leave the skins on if you prefer. Slice or chop into cubes (your choice), discarding the cores and seeds.
  • 2. Preheat the oven to 375° Fahrenheit (190° Celsius). Grease an 11x8 inch baking pan, or any pan of a similar size. Set aside.
  • 3. Combine apples, maple syrup or sweetener, cinnamon and 1/8 tsp salt in a large mixing bowl, and stir well.
  • 4. Spread the healthy apple crisp filling into the prepared pan.
  • 5. In either the same mixing bowl or a new bowl, stir the oats, flour, sugar, and remaining salt until well mixed. Cut in softened butter or coconut oil, or the applesauce, to form a crumbly dough.
  • 6. Sprinkle crumbles evenly over the cinnamon apples. Bake on the center rack of the oven for 45 minutes.
  • 7. Cover the top of the pan with foil or a rectangular cookie sheet. Continue to bake another 15-20 minutes, or until topping appears golden and apples are soft and caramelized.
  • 8. Serve hot with ice cream if desired, or allow to cool fully before covering and refrigerating.
  • 9. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to five days, or freeze in an airtight container for up to two months.
