Ingredients

6 apples peeled and sliced
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon arrowroot flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

CRISP TOPPING:

1 cup oat flour
1/2 cup rolled oats gluten-free if needed
1/3 cup coconut sugar or maple sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts of choice omit for nut-free
1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of fine sea salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF.
In a bowl combine the filling ingredients.
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts of choice omit for nut-free, 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted, 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, Pinch of fine sea salt
Meanwhile, in a large bowl make topping: Using a fork of your fingers, mix together until the mixture is crumbly.
6 apples, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon arrowroot flour, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 cup oat flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats gluten-free if needed, 1/3 cup coconut sugar or maple sugar
Pour the fruit filling and any juices into a 9×9″ (or similar sized) baking dish. Crumble the crisp topping over the top and bake in the preheated oven for about 55 minutes, until the juice is bubbling and the pears are baked through. If the crisp topping is browning too fast, cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Let cool slightly before serving. Serve as is, or with coconut whipped cream or ice cream and caramel if desired.

Notes

Storage:
- Store leftover homemade apple crisp in an airtight container or covered with foil in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
- Freeze leftovers for up to 3 months!
- To serve, thaw frozen crisp in the fridge overnight. Then, reheat it in the oven at 350ºF for about 15 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave leftovers, but the topping won’t be as crisp.
