Description

For the apple crisp topping
-
Prep the apples. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Then peel, core, and slice the apples.
-
Make the fruit base. In a big bowl, toss collectively the apples, maple syrup, arrowroot powder, lemon juice, vanilla, and cinnamon, till nicely mixed.
-
Place in baking dish. Switch the apple combination to a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
-
Make the apple crisp topping. In a medium bowl, whisk collectively the almond flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Utilizing a pastry cutter or fork, minimize within the butter till the combination turns into crumbly. Then stir within the rolled oats.
-
Add the topping and bake. Sprinkle the apple crisp evenly over the sliced apples within the baking dish. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or till the topping is golden brown and the apples are mushy.
-
Serve. Scoop a portion out and serve heat. You may also add a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream on prime.
- How I prep this for Thankgiving: I’ve gotten loads of questions on this, so right here’s what I do. I make the topping forward of time and retailer it within the fridge. Then, as quickly because the turkey comes out of the oven, I slice the apples with the Johnny apple peeler (linked above), toss with the maple syrup, vanilla, and so forth, add the topping, and pop it within the oven. That solely takes about quarter-hour with the peeler. Additionally, understand that a turkey must relaxation for 30 min earlier than serving. Then, dinner will seemingly take not less than half-hour. So you could have loads of time to assemble this whereas the turkey is resting, and it might probably prepare dinner within the oven whereas everyone seems to be consuming dinner. When it’s time for dessert, a heat apple crisp might be able to serve up! Simply keep in mind to set a timer so that you don’t neglect about it within the oven. 😉
