Ingredients

Apple Filling

2 pounds apples (about 5-6 medium apples) peeled or not and thinly sliced
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice or 1/2 lemon juiced
1 tablespoon arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Crisp Topping

1 cup rolled oats use gluten free, if desired
1/2 cup almond meal or flour
1/3 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar (I prefer brown sugar)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup butter melted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF and spray a 9-inch pie plate or 8x8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
Combine all filling ingredients in a medium bowl and transfer to pie plate. Apple slices will almost be overflowing out of the pie dish.
Combine all crisp topping ingredients in a medium bowl. I like to use a fork to get them fully combined.
Evenly sprinkle crisp mixture over the top of the apples.
Bake for about 40 minutes and until apples are of desired softness. If after 40 minutes, crumble topping is browning, but apples are not soft enough, place tin foil over the crisp and bake another 5-10 minutes.
Allow to cool slightly before spooning out.
Serve warm and with vanilla ice cream, whipped topping or coconut cream, if desired.

Notes

Storing leftovers. Since the topping has melted butter, I recommend that you refrigerate leftovers. It will stay good for one day, at room temperature, on the counter, and then after that refrigerate it for 3 to 4 days.

Reheating. Rewarm this by microwaving individual servings for about 30-45 seconds. To reheat the entire dish, place (uncovered) in a 375 degrees F oven for 10-15 minutes. See the full post for make ahead and freezer options.
