Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Medium Bowl

Ingredients
  

Baked Apple Crisp

  • 7 – 8 Medium Granny Smith Apples
  • 1/4 Cup Almond Flour
  • 1 Stick Salted or Unsalted Organic Butter, Melted
  • 3 Teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1 Teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1/4 Cup Raw Local Honey or Pure Maple Syrup

Nut mixture – You can double and triple these amounts to make extra to freeze

  • 1 Cup Pecans (or more)
  • 1/2 Cup Walnuts (or more)
  • 1/2 Cup Sunflower seeds (or more)
  • 4 Brazil Nuts

Coconut Whipped Cream

  • 2 Cans Thai Kitchen Organic Coconut Milk Unsweetened Must be in the refrigerator overnight or longer.  I keep a couple of cans in my refrigerator all the time. I have tried most every available canned coconut milk, and the ONLY one that works well consistently for this recipe is this Thai brand.
  • 1-2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1-2 Teaspoons Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1-2 Droppers Vanilla Stevia

Instructions
 

Baked Apple Crisp Topping

  • Topping Prep: Get that mighty food processor out.
  • Grab your supply of nuts and seeds. This can include your favorites and more: Pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, almonds, Brazil nuts, etc. (Pecans add sweetness.)
  • Honestly, once I have that food processor out and all my nuts & seeds out, I blend up a lot and freeze the rest. Then next time you want to make this it will take just minutes!
  • Chop up your nuts & seeds in your food processor. Put 2 cups into a bowl and freeze the rest.
  • Add 1/4 cup almond flour.
  • Pour 1 stick of melted butter into the bowl and mix well.

Baked Apple Crisp Base

  • Take 6 – 7 medium granny smith apples.
  • Slice the apples to your preference, leaving the nutritious skin on.
  • Drop them in a large bowl of water with a 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Remove and drain and place back into the empty bowl.
  • Douse the apple pieces with cinnamon powder and nutmeg.
  • Drizzle on 1/4 cup local honey or pure maple syrup & mix well.

Baked Apple Crisp Baking

  • Prep to Cook:
  • Pour the apple pieces into a 9 x 9 or 9 x 12 glass pan.
  • Pour the butter and nut and seed mixture on top and spread around.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.
  • Option: Cover the glass pan with tin foil for the first 10 minutes if you want the apples softer. Then remove to let the topping brown. If the topping does not brown enough for you, broil it for a minute, but do not walk away from the stove with broil on. You’ll want to be there to remove it as soon as you see it browning.

Coconut Whipped Cream

  • Prep & Make: Get your mixer out.
  • Open the 2 cans of coconut milk carefully, not shaking the cans or turning upside down at all.
  • Now, you’ll see the solid white coconut cream in the top 1/2 of the can. Carefully scoop that out, avoiding the liquid below it, as much as possible.
  • Put the solid cream chunks into the bowl of your mixer.
  • Blend and add the additional ingredients slowly – tasting frequently. You may not need both teaspoons of the vanilla. Start with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of maple syrup and 1 dropper of vanilla stevia. Add more to your liking.
  • Continue to blend until the mixture is quite firm.
    Put the finished whipped cream mixture into a container in the fridge, ready for you to use.
    I usually double this recipe to have extra.
