Ingredients
Scale
Topping
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup brown sweetener
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (cold)
- 1/2 tsp salt
Apple Filling
- 2 medium apples (peeled and sliced)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp almond flour
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup brown sweetener
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the apple crisp.
- Prepare Topping: In a bowl, combine the old fashioned oats, almond flour, brown sweetener, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold, unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- Mix Apple Filling: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, almond flour, lemon juice, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, brown sweetener, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Coat Apples: Place the peeled and sliced apples in a large bowl, then pour the apple mixture over the slices. Toss everything together gently until the apples are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Assemble in Dish: Grease a 9-inch pie dish lightly, then spread the coated apple mixture evenly inside. Sprinkle the prepared crumble topping evenly over the apples, covering them completely.
- Bake: Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the apple filling bubbles up around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the apple crisp from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. This resting time helps the filling to set and enhances the flavors.
Notes
- You can substitute the brown sweetener with other sugar-free sweeteners like erythritol or monk fruit blend for a different taste.
- Use tart apples such as Granny Smith for a balanced sweet and tangy flavor.
- Ensure the butter used for topping is cold to achieve a crumbly texture.
- This crisp can be served warm with sugar-free vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
