Ingredients

For Apple Filling:

4 cups apples (peeled and thinly sliced)
1 tsp lemon juice
¼ cup maple syrup
2 tbsp water
2 tbsp arrowroot flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon

For Crisp Oat Topping:

1 cup old fashioned oats (look for certified gluten-free and also glyphosate-free)
½ cup walnuts, pecans or almonds (roughly chopped)
½ cup blanched almond flour
¼ tsp sea salt
¼ cup melted coconut oil (or unsalted butter)
¼ cup maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350° F.
Place the apples in an 8x8 casserole baking dish and sprinkle with arrowroot flour and cinnamon. Stir together lemon juice, maple syrup, and water, then pour over the apples.
Stir the apples until they are well-coated with the arrowroot, maple syrup and lemon juice, then set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine all the dry ingredients needed for the crisp - oats, nuts, almond flour, and salt. Stir until well-combined.
Add the coconut oil/butter and maple syrup to the crisp mixture and stir again.
Scoop spoonfuls of the topping over the apple mixture. It's best to leave a little space between the spoonfuls to allow some heat to escape from the apple mixture during baking.
Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
