Gluten-Free Healthy Apple Crisp

Ahh... Apple Crisp! This is when you know the Fall season has arrived! 

For some reason, I'm not sure why, but during the Fall I make a lot of apple crisp dishes.  

Lately I have been making my apple crisp a little healthier because of my son's health issues. I'm glad to say my family has not complained, it still has the same great taste that you look for in a apple crisp.

As far as the type of apples go, I usually buy apples that are on sale, but feel free to use any of your favorite variety of apples and Enjoy!

Ingredients:

For the filling:

• 6 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons agave nectar (I use amber)
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

For the topping:

• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup gluten-free whole oats
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
• 1/4 cup agave nectar (I use amber)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a medium bowl mix all the ingredients for the filling. Stir together until apples are coated evenly.
3. In a separate bowl mix all the topping ingredients.
4. Using a fork or your fingers mix until the topping has a crumbly consistency.
5. Put the apples into a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish. Cover with the crumble topping.
6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
7. Apple crisp is best served immediately while still warm.
8.  It can also be served at room temperature. Store, covered, in the refrigerator  for up to 4 days.
