Healthy Apple Crisp Recipe [low carb/gluten-free/dairy-free]
This quick and healthy apple crisp recipe is gluten-free, low-sugar and even dairy-free. It's the perfect easy dessert for a special meal or is even healthy enough to be served up as breakfast on lazy Sunday mornings.
Ingredients
- 3 cups apples chopped into 1/2 inch pieces (cortland, honeycrisp, gala and golden delicious all work well in this recipe - leave the skins on for a little extra fibre).
- 2 tbs monk fruit sweetener / coconut sugar / brown sugar (or whatever granulated sugar that you have on hand)
- Juice from 1 medium lemon
- 2/3 cup thick rolled oats
- 1/3 cup coconut flakes or coconut chips
- 2 tbs maple syrup or benisweet
- 2 tbs cinnamon
- 1/2 cup coconut oil (room temperature or slightly softened)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F. Mix the chopped apples, lemon juice, granulated sweetener and 1 tbs of cinnamon in a large bowl until the apples are well coated. Pour your apple mixture into a baking pan or baking dish (I love my square casserole dish from Le Creuset for this - it's the perfect size) and set aside. Add the softened coconut oil to a large mixing bowl along with the maple syrup, remaining 1 tbs cinnamon, and salt. Mash the coconut oil with the other ingredients until everything is mixed through. Add the oats, sea salt and coconut flakes to the coconut oil mixture and combine well. Spread the coconut and oat mixture overtop of your apples and baked uncovered for 1 hour. Serve warm with vanilla coconut milk ice cream for dessert or reheat in the morning for a delicious healthy treat.
