- 6 large apples , cored, peeled, and sliced
- 1 T. fresh lemon juice
- 1/3 c. real maple syrup
- 2 T. 100% apple juice sugar free
- 1 t. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 t. ground allspice
- 1 1/2 t. fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 t. salt
Topping Ingredients:
- 1 c. old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/3 c. almond flour
- 1/3 c. almonds , sliced
- 1/3 c. honey preferably local
- 3 T. unsalted butter , melted
Place top oven rack in the center position and preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8” x 8” baking dish or a 7” x 10” baking dish and set aside.
Place apples in a large non-reactive bowl and toss with fresh lemon juice. Add maple syrup, apple juice, cinnamon, allspice, thyme leaves, and salt. Toss to combine and set aside.
Combine topping ingredients in a separate bowl and stir until oats are thoroughly coated and all ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
Pour apple mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer. Spread the topping evenly across the top in a uniform layer, as well.
Place into a preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. Once the top layer is nicely browned, cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning. After the 30 minutes is up, continue baking for another 15-20 minutes or until the apple crisp is nice and bubbling. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for 5-10 minutes.
Serve warm with some vanilla bean iced cream or freshly whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
