Ingredients

Filling

6 apples peeled, cored, and sliced
1–2 tsp cinnamon
nutmeg and ginger pinch
2–3 Tbsp maple syrup

Topping

¾ cup almond flour or GF flour blend
½ cup chopped raw pecans
2–3 Tbsp coconut flakes optional
2 Tbsp maple syrup
3 Tbsp coconut oil melted
sea salt pinch

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Toss the sliced apples with spices and maple syrup, then spread in a baking dish.
In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, pecans, coconut flakes, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and salt until crumbly.
Spread the topping over the apples and bake for 30–40 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling at the edges. Let cool slightly, then serve warm.

Notes

Nut-free version: Use sunflower seeds and oat flour in the topping. Make-ahead: Assemble in the morning, bake just before dinner. Extra crispy? Broil for the last 2 minutes — just don’t walk away (voice of experience).
