Equipment

  • 9-inch square or 2-quart baking dish
  • Two mixing bowls
  • Aluminum foil

Ingredients

Apple Filling

  • 6 cups apples about 6 medium or 2 1/4 pounds; cored and sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup Lakanto Classic monkfruit with erythritol 48 g
  • 2 tbsp tapioca or arrowroot starch
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt

Crisp Topping

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats certified gluten-free when needed
  • 1/3 cup pecans chopped
  • 1/4 cup Lakanto Classic monkfruit with erythritol 48 g
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup butter or dairy-free butter melted
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch square or 2-quart baking dish.
  • Toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice, monk fruit sweetener, starch, cinnamon and salt until no dry starch remains. Spread evenly in the dish.
  • Stir together the almond flour, oats, pecans, monk fruit sweetener, cinnamon and salt. Add the melted butter and vanilla and mix with a fork until clumps form.
  • Scatter the topping over the apples. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, until the apples are easily pierced with a knife and the filling bubbles at the edges.
  • Cool for 15 minutes before serving so the filling can thicken.

Notes

  • Honeycrisp and Braeburn hold their shape; Granny Smith stays tart and firm; Gala and Fuji become softer.
  • If the topping browns before the apples are tender, replace the foil.
  • Use certified gluten-free oats and verified gluten-free ingredients when needed. Use dairy-free butter for the dairy-free option.
  • Contains almonds and pecans.
