- 1/4 cup of chopped nuts
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the apple crisp.
- Prepare Apple Mixture: In a bowl, combine the sliced apples with honey and water, stirring gently to coat the apples evenly and create a lightly sweetened base.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, chopped nuts, and cinnamon, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated for the crisp topping.
- Combine Mixtures: Add the dry oat mixture to the apple mixture and mix thoroughly so the topping ingredients are evenly distributed among the apples.

- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm to enjoy this deliciously healthy apple crisp.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced sweet and tangy flavor.
- For a nut-free version, omit chopped nuts or substitute with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
- Honey adds natural sweetness; adjust the amount based on your preference or substitute with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Ensure apples are sliced evenly for consistent baking.
- Allow the crisp to cool slightly before serving to let juices thicken.
