The downside to apple crisp is that it's not healthy! That's why we eat it only a couple times a year, right? Then again, maybe it IS healthy, I mean it has apples in it!
I created my own version of apple crisp, and it's not only gluten free but it's refined sugar free as well. That way, you don't have to feel too guilty for eating it! You can easily make this dairy free as well! Top it with some delicious coco whip and dig in! This version is as delicious, if not better than the sugar loaded version! Enjoy!
Gluten Free Refined Sugar Free Apple Crisp
Ingredients:
5-6 medium sized apples (I use granny smith or Macintosh), peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 Cup Raw Agave Nectar
3 Cups Gluten Free Oats
Juice of 1 Lemon
1 Cup Organic Coconut Palm Sugar
1/4 Cup Brown Rice Flour
1 Tbsp. GF Apple Pie Spice
2 Sticks of salted cold butter (or dairy free alternative), cubed
Coconut Oil Spray
Coco Whip for topping
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350. Grease a 9x6 rectangular dish with coconut oil spray and set aside.
2. Peel, core, and slice the apples thinly- about 1/4 inch in diameter. Add the sliced apples to a large mixing bowl. On top of the apples, add the lemon juice and agave nectar and mix until fully combined.
3. In a food processor, add the oats, brown rice flour, coconut palm sugar, apple pie spice, and 1 stick of cold, cubed butter. Pulse the mix just until it resembles coarse crumbs, you don't want to totally grind up the oats.
4. Add the apples to the baking dish in a single layer. Next, add the oat mixture on top, making sure to cover all of the apples. Take the remaining stick of butter, cube it, and scatter it on top of the crisp. This will make it nice and crispy and golden brown!
5. Bake the apple crisp for 1 hour or until golden brown. Top with coco whip and enjoy!
