Ingredients
Apple Filling
- 3-4 medium apples**1 peeled, cored, and chopped about ¼-inch thick
- 1 tbsp (12g) brown sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp nutmeg
Topping
- ½ cup (40g) rolled oats
- ¼ cup (30g) oat flour
- ¼ cup (28g) almond flour
- 2 tbsp (24g) brown sugar
- ¾ tsp cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp nutmeg
- 3 tbsp (45g)
walnut butter - 1 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C. Lightly grease a small baking dish (I used an 8x6-inch but 8x8 works too).
- Combine apple filling ingredients in a large bowl, then spread out in baking dish. Pack them down as best as you can - they will shrink during baking.
- Make the topping by first combining rolled oats, oat flour, almond flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl.
- Add walnut butter and maple syrup and stir into the dry ingredients. Use your hand to crumble the mixture together to form some chunks.
- Sprinkle the topping over the apples. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the topping.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, until apples are tender and the top is golden brown.
- Place on a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes. Apple crisp can be served warm, room temperature, or cold.
- To store, let the apple crisp cool completely, then cover and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
