Description
This healthy apple crisp features tender cinnamon-spiced apples beneath a golden oat crumble topping. It’s a comforting dessert made with wholesome ingredients and naturally sweetened flavor.
Ingredients
- 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
- 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
- 2/3 cup spelt flour or almond flour (80g)
- 1/2 cup sugar (90g)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, unsalted butter, or applesauce (110g)
Instructions
- Peel the apples if desired, then slice or chop them into cubes, discarding the cores and seeds.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 11×8-inch baking pan or a similar-sized baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, and 1/8 tsp salt. Stir well.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- In a bowl, mix the oats, flour, sugar, and remaining salt. Cut in the coconut oil, butter, or applesauce until a crumbly mixture forms.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
- Bake on the center rack for 45 minutes.
- Cover the pan with foil or a baking sheet and continue baking for 15 to 20 minutes, until the topping is golden and the apples are soft.
- Serve warm, or cool completely before refrigerating.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Notes
- Leave the apple skins on for added fiber and texture.
- Almond flour can be used instead of spelt flour for a gluten-free variation if certified gluten-free oats are also used.
- Applesauce may be substituted for coconut oil or butter to reduce fat.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or yogurt if desired.
