Ingredients
- 6 large apples, cored, peeled, and sliced
- 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1/3 cup. real maple syrup
- 2 Tbsp. 100% apple juice (sugar-free)
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp. ground allspice
- 1½ tsp. fresh thyme leaves
- ¼ tsp. salt
Topping Ingredients:
- 1 cup. old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/3 cup. almond flour
- 1/3 cup. almonds, sliced
- 1/3 cup. honey, preferably local
- 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
To Serve: (Optional)
- Vanilla bean ice cream or freshly whipped cream
Instructions
- Place top oven rack in the center position and pre-heat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8” x 8” baking dish and set it aside.
- Place apples in a large non-reactive bowl and toss with fresh lemon juice. Add maple syrup, apple juice, cinnamon, allspice, thyme leaves, and salt. Toss to combine and set aside.
- Combine topping ingredients in a separate bowl and stir until oats are thoroughly coated and all ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
- Pour apple mixture into prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer. Spread the topping evenly across the top in a uniform layer, as well.
- Place into the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. If the top layer is nicely browned, cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning. Continue baking for another 15-20 minutes or until the apple crisp is nice and bubbling. Remove from oven and set aside to cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Serve warm with some vanilla bean iced cream or freshly whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
