Ingredients
  

4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (a blend of sweet and tart varieties is ideal)

2 tbsp maple syrup (modify according to the sweetness of the apples)

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond flour

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

2 tbsp melted coconut oil (or unsalted butter)

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

In a spacious skillet set over medium heat, mix the sliced apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Gently stir until all the apples are well coated.

    Sauté the apples for approximately 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften, stirring occasionally.

      While the apples are on the stove, in a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, chopped nuts, melted coconut oil, applesauce, and a pinch of salt. Stir until you achieve a crumbly texture.

        When the apples are tender but still retain their shape, take the skillet off the heat and evenly distribute the oat mixture over the apples.

          Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven set to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes until the topping turns a delicious golden brown and becomes crisp.

            Take it out of the oven and allow it to cool for a few moments before serving. Enjoy it warm, possibly with a scoop of Greek yogurt or a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream!
