Easy Refined-Sugar-Free Holiday Apple Crisp

Yield: 6-8
Estimated Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:
Apple Filling:
6 apples, diced (peeled or unpeeled)
3 TBSP melted butter**
¼ cup oat flour*
3 TBSP maple syrup
1 tsp salt (optional)

Crumble: 
1 cup oats
1 ¼ cup oat flour*
3 TBSP butter (grated or cut into small cubes)**
3 TBSP maple syrup

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 375℉.

• In a large bowl, place the apples, melted butter, ¼ cup oat flour, maple syrup, and salt if using. Mix well. Store in the fridge while preparing the crumple.

• In another bowl, add the oats and remaining oat flour.

• Grate or cube the butter and sprinkle over the oats. Using your freshly cleaned hands, mix the oats with the butter until it makes a nice crumble.

• Pour the maple syrup over the crumble, use your hands or a spatula to incorporate with the rest of the crumble.

• Pour the apple mixture into a pie pan or a small casserole dish.

• Sprinkle the crumble over the apple mixture.

• Bake in the oven for 35-45 minutes. Watch carefully during the last 10 minutes to avoid burning the top.

• Serve alone or with your favorite ice-cream.

Notes:

* Make homemade oat flour by placing 1 ½ rolled oats in a blender. Blend until you have a course flour.

** To make this apple crisp dairy-free, use coconut oil instead of butter. For the apple mixture, you want to use melted coconut oil. For the crumble, you want solid coconut oil.
