Naturally Sweet Apple Crisp



 serves 10 - 12

  • 10 c apples, thinly sliced (peeled or not)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 Tbs flour
  • 1 c pure maple syrup
  • 1 1/4 c rolled oats (not quick cooking)
  • 1 c flour (unbleached white or whole wheat or a combination)
  • 1/2 c pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp aluminum free baking powder (such as Rumford)
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 c chopped raw nuts (I prefer walnuts, but pecans are delicious, too)
  • 1/2 c butter or unrefined coconut oil (or a combination)

Preheat oven to 350F.

Place the apples in a 9x13 baking dish.  Sprinkle with 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 Tbs flour.  Pour 1 c maple syrup over all, then toss lightly to mix.

In another bowl, combine oats, flour, 1/2 c maple syrup, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nuts and butter/coconut oil.  Mix well.

Using your hands, sprinkle the mixture over the top of the apples (mixture will be too wet to "sprinkle" with a spoon).

Bake in preheated oven about 45 minutes, or until apples are fork tender and topping begins to brown.

Cool at least 20 minutes before serving.
