Yield: 4-6

Author: Riley Shaia

Ingredients

Apple Filling

• 4-5 large crisp apples (about 2 pounds) sliced thinly to about 1/4 of an inch
• 3 tbsp date syrup
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Topping

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 3/4 cup chopped pecan or walnuts
• 1/2 cup oat flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• 2 tbsp nut butter
• 1/4 cup date syrup
• Coconut whipped topping or non-dairy vanilla ice cream is optional for serving

Instructions

1. Place the rack in the center of your oven, then preheat to 350 degrees.  Peel and core the apples then slice them into 1/4 thick chunks.
2. In the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking pan or 2-quart casserole dish, mix together the filling ingredients.  Set the dish aside.
3. Combine topping ingredients in a medium bowl until well combined.  Sprinkle on top of the apple mixture and place in the oven for 45 minutes.
4. Remove the dish from the oven and stir the topping into the apple mixture.  Place the dish back in the oven for 15 more minutes until the mixture is bubbling and apples are tender.
5. Serve warm with coconut whipped topping or non-dairy vanilla ice cream.

Notes:

A variety of sweet and tangy apples makes for a delicious crisp!
