Ingredients
 

Crumble Topping

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup unrefined cane sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pecan halves, sub walnut pieces
  • ⅓ cup butter, cut into small pieces

Apple Filling

  • 3-4 apples, peeled, decored, and thinly sliced.
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tbsp pure maple syrup, optional

Equipment

  • 1 9 inch pie dish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven. Preheat your oven to 350.
  • Make the topping. Combine all of the ingredients for the topping and mix together with your hands to form a crumbly topping. Set aside.
  • Make the apple filling. Peel and slice the apples and place in a medium bowl. Add in all of the filling ingredients and toss until the apples are evenly coated. Then spread apple filling into a 9 inch greased oven safe pie dish.
  • Cover apples with crumble. Evenly spread the crumble topping over the apple filling.
  • Bake the paleo apple crisp. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the apples are bubbling and the topping is brown and crisp. Check around 25-30 minutes and if the topping is browning too much, cover with aluminum foil for the last 15 minutes.
  • Let cool then enjoy! Let sit for at least 10-15 minutes to cool down before serving warm.  Serve with coconut vanilla ice cream if desired. Or normal vanilla ice cream (this would make it no longer paleo).

Notes

  • To enhance the flavor even more, add in a dash of nutmeg and dried ginger to the crumble topping.
  • To make sure you aren't burning the topping, check about halfway through baking and cover with foil if needed.
  • For the best paleo apple crisp, serve warm with vanilla ice cream or yogurt.
  • There are lots of great apple varieties that are perfect for baking. I use Pink Lady apples or envy apples but you could also use Jonagold, Envy, or Honeycrisp for a delicious apple crisp.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
