Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Serves: 12  

Ingredients

Apple filling

6 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin (Honeycrisp recommended)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

3 tablespoons maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon arrowroot powder, for gluten-free (or cornstarch)

Cobbler Topping

1 1/2 cups rolled oats

2 cups almond flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla

2/3 cup maple syrup

1/2 cup coconut oil, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a baking dish (approximately 11×8).
  2. Peel, core and slice your apples about 1/8-inch thick. Toss slices in a mixing bowl with lemon juice, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and arrowroot powder (or cornstarch). Set aside while preparing crumble.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together oats, almond flour, salt, cinnamon and vanilla. Add in maple syrup and melted coconut oil. Stir until well combined.
  4. Pour apples into a greased baking dish, including the liquid in the bottom of the bowl. Add dollops of the cobbler mixture onto the apples, evenly dispersing and covering as much of the top as possible.
  5. Bake for 45-50 minutes, covering the top halfway through with aluminum foil if it begins to brown.
  6. Serve warm — à la mode, if desired, and enjoy!
