Ingredients
- 5 organic apples, pink lady or royal gala, thinly sliced Bottom
- 1/2 cup filtered water or apple juice Bottom
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon Bottom
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg Bottom
- 1.5 cups shredded coconut topping
- 1 cup walnuts topping
- 1 cup sunflower seeds topping
- 1 cup almonds topping
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon topping
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg topping
- 1/4 cup maple syrup topping
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Grease a large baking dish with coconut oil. I used an 8x10 ceramic baking dish. If you use a larger dish you'll have thinner layers and if you use a smaller dish, thicker layers. Either way, it still works!
- Thinly slice the apples. If you're using organic, keep the peel on. Place apples into baking dish. Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg. Add water or apple juice.
- Now it's time to make the topping. In a small pot on the stove, melt the coconut oil remove from heat once melted. In a large mixing bowl add shredded coconut.
- Now you'll need to finely chop the nuts and seeds or blitz them in a food processor. I use the food processor method because it's much quicker.
- Add the nuts and seeds to the bowl of shredded coconut, the cinnamon and nutmeg and mix until combined. Add the coconut oil and maple syrup and stir together.
- Spoon the topping mixture on top of the apples.
- Bake in oven for 25-35 minutes. Check the topping at 20 minutes. If it looks like it's burning, place a sheet of tin foil on top.
- The crisp is done when the apples are tender. Remove from oven and serve right away if you want it warm. Place a dollop of your favourite ice cream or yogurt on top.
- Once crisp has cooled, place in fridge and keep for up to 1 week. Reheat for 10 minutes at 350F to enjoy leftovers.
