Ingredients
    Filling:
  • 9 apples (8-9 Granny Smith apples; 2.5 pounds apx.)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (organic)
  • 3 tbsp. cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)
  • 1 orange (zest of 1 large lemon or orange - both are great!)
  • 1 tbsp orange juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ginger (ground)
  • 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
    • Topping:
  • 1 cup almond flour (packed, organic)
  • 1/2 cup brown monk fruit (1/4 to 1/2 cup; or coconut sugar, or refined sugar free sweetener of choice. Do 1/4 cup if you don’t like super sweet)
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tbsp molasses (organic)
  • 1/2 cup butter (grass-fed, unsalted, cold and cubed)
  • 1 cup oats (organic, rolled, old fashioned)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive or avocado oil spray. Set aside.
  2. 2
    Peel, core, and slice the apples. Slice them pretty thin. You don't want huge chunks of apples.
  3. 3

    In a large mixing bowl, toss together the apples, maple syrup, corn starch, orange juice, orange zest, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg until well combined.

  4. 4
    Transfer the apple mixture to your prepared baking dish.
  5. 5

    In another mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, monk fruit, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Roughly stir in the molasses (it will be sticky and will mix better into the crumble when you cut the butter in). Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut in the butter until the mixture becomes crumbly and the butter and molasses is evenly distributed in the crumble. Stir in the rolled oats.

  6. 6
    Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sliced apples in the baking dish. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are soft. Check at the 45 minute mark, because some ovens bake faster than others!
  7. 7
    Serve immediately plain or with a scoop of ice cream on top. I like to serve mine with my high protein cottage cheese ice cream.
