Apple Crisp

Making a fruit crisp is a delightful way to incorporate fruits into desserts. While we used apples in our recipe, the apples can be replaced with berries or stone fruits (peaches, plums, etc) for a tasty treat!

You will need:

FILLING:
-8 apples
-2 T lemon or lime juice
-2/3 cup coconut sugar
-1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
-1/4 cup fresh apple juice (or water)
-optional: 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice

TOPPING
-1 cup rolled oats
-1 cup whole wheat flour
-3/4 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 tsp sea salt
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/2 cup coconut oil or butter

Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Peel (optional) and core apples, and slice into thin strips. Add the apples to a bowl and add the other filling ingredients. Mix well and transfer to a baking pan or sheet.

In a separate bowl, combine all topping ingredients and mix well. You can even use your hands if you want! Pour the mix over the apples and bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the filling begins to bubble. Let cool for about 10 minutes and serve. Top with ice cream (or nice cream) if desired.
