Ingredients:
| 1. | 6 apples, peeled and thinly sliced (Use 8 apples if they are small) |
| 2. | 1/3 cup maple syrup |
| 3. | 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar |
| 4. | 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract |
| 5. | 1 tablespoon Arrowroot (substitute: cornstarch) |
| 6. | 1 teaspoon cinnamon |
| 7. | 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice |
| 8. | Pinch of nutmeg (substitute: a pinch of cinnamon or cloves ) |
| 9. | 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt |
Oatmeal Crumble Topping
| 1. | 1 cup rolled oats ( I used Gluten Free) |
| 2. | 1/3 cup oat flour (substitute:organic unbleached flour) |
| 3. | 1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped |
| 4. | 1/4 cup coconut sugar |
| 5. | 1/4 cup organic maple syrup |
| 6. | 4 tablespoons cold grass-fed butter, cut into cubes |
Directions:
Preheat Oven to 350/ Peel and Slice Apples.
Peel and slice the apples. I used a mandolin to make it easier.
Toss them together in a large bowl with maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, vanilla, arrowroot, spices and salt.
Mix well until they’re completely coated and transfer them to an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish coated in non-stick spray.
Prepare Pecan-Oat Crumble Topping.
To make the crumble topping, mix together rolled oats, oat flour, pecans, coconut sugar, and maple syrup.
Next add the cubed cold butter and mix well using a pastry cutter (or your hands) to really get everything incorporated until the mixture resembles a nice crumble topping.
Sprinkle the crumble over top of the apple mixture until evenly covered.
Bake the Apple Crisp .
Bake the apple crisp in the oven for about 40 to 45 minutes. The apple crisp will look golden brown and apples should be soft and tender. (If the oat topping starts browning too quickly, cover it with foil and continue baking until apples are soft).
Serving Suggestions.
Serve immediately while apple crisp is warm.
Top with a dollop of plain or vanilla Greek yogurt, or if you must- I recommend Halo vanilla bean ice cream!
