7 cups (770 g) peeled and chopped apples (about 5 large apples, cut into 1/2-in chunks)
1 1/2 cups (100 g) whole cranberries, fresh or frozen
1/4 cup (48 g) coconut sugar
1 tsp orange zest
2 Tbsp orange juice
1 Tbsp arrowroot powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
For the topping:
1 cup (112 g) almond flour
3/4 cup (60 g) dry gluten-free rolled oats
2/3 cup (73 g) chopped raw pecans
1/4 cup (55 g) coconut oil, softened
1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
Instructions:
Read through recipe and put all ingredients in your work area before starting your prep.
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease an 8-in x 11-in (20-cm x 28-cm) baking dish.
In the prepared baking dish, place apples, cranberries, coconut sugar, orange zest, orange juice, arrowroot, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Stir gently to combine.
In a medium bowl, place almond flour, oats, pecans, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract and salt. With a wooden spoon or with clean hands, mix together until thoroughly combined. Sprinkle the almond flour-oat mixture evenly over the top of the apple-cranberry mixture. Cover the dish loosely with foil and place in preheated oven. Bake for 35 min, or until the fruit is fork-tender. Uncover the dish and bake for 15 min more, or until topping is golden and fragrant. Remove from oven and let stand for 5–10 min before serving.
Notes:
Storage tip: Apple Cranberry Maple Crisp will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5–7 days.
Reheating tip: In a 350°F (180°C) oven, reheat crisp for 10 min, or until warmed through.
Make it nut-free: Use oat flour in place of almond flour, and raw, shelled pumpkin seeds in place of pecans.
