Ingredients
6 cups apples, peeled and sliced
1.5 cups rolled oats
1 cup almond flour
0.5 cup pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
0.3 cup coconut oil, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease an 8×8 baking dish with a light coating of coconut oil.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with half of the cinnamon and toss until evenly coated.
Spread the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, almond flour, remaining cinnamon, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil until the texture resembles coarse, wet sand.
Distribute the oat mixture evenly over the apples.
Bake for 40 minutes until the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use a blend of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples for the best balance of tartness and sweetness. Ensure your rolled oats are certified gluten-free if you have a gluten sensitivity. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
