Apple Crisp

This Apple Crisp recipe is a wonderful recipe to serve up at your next gathering with family or friends. Warm, comforting, sweet, and delicious, it’s delicious all on its own or served up with the banana or coconut ice cream recipes on my blog. 

Apples offer us not only physical benefits but also healing on a spiritual level. Apples teach us not to get burned by the frost of insensitivity from others. Unlike crops that risk damage from autumn temperatures, many apple varieties continue to grow and ripen through the cooler months, protected by their frost-resistant skin. When a cold front from a friend, lover, or colleague comes upon you, take heed from the apple and draw a protective shield around yourself until conditions improve.

Apple Crisp

Ingredients:

Filling:

• 4 red apples, chopped
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp lemon zest

Topping:

• 1 1/2 cup gluten free rolled oats (optional: sub 1/2 cup oats for 1/2 cup almond meal for a more biscuity texture)
• 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger (optional)
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 cup coconut oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325F. Place the diced apples in a 11x7 baking dish (or similar). Add the cinnamon, lemon juice and zest and mix well. 

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the oats, pecans, coconut, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, maple syrup and coconut oil. Mix well, then place on top of the diced apples. 

Place in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top is browned and the apples cooked through. Let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature before serving. 

Serves: 6-8
