Healthy Cranberry Apple Crisp

Print Save Healthy Cranberry Apple Crisp Recipe Embed Ingredients For the Topping: 1 1/4 cups Rolled Oats 1/2 cup Almonds, ground 3/4 teaspoon Cinnamon pinch of Ground Nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon Salt 1/3 cup Coconut Oil 1/3 cup Pure Maple Syrup For the Filling: 5 medium Apples, cored and diced 1 cup Fresh Cranberries, halved 2 tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice 1 tablespoon Water 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon Ground Ginger pinch of Ground Nutmeg Directions Heat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8 x 8 inch square baking dish with coconut oil. Make the Topping: Stir the oats, ground almonds, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt together in a medium bowl.  Add the coconut oil and maple syrup and stir until crumbs form. If your texture is off (this can be due to numerous reasons - age of the nuts, what kind of oats you have etc), sprinkle a bit more oats if it seems too sticky or a bit more coconut oil if it feels dry.  Cover and refrigerate. Make the Filling: Mix all ingredients for the filling together very well. You can use a bowl, but I usually just do this right in the baking dish to avoid more bowls to wash. Clever, right? Either way, spread the filling in your prepared dish. Assemble: Sprinkle the chilled topping evenly over the filling. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and the apples are cooked. If the topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with aluminium foil about halfway through. Serve: Once you take the crisp out of the oven, dig a little hole as an air vent on either side. This will help the filling to thicken while you let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Serve warm. We like it topped with coconut or sheep's milk yogurt, but I bet ice cream works, too ;)   Recommended Le Creuset Heritage 3 Quart Square Dish Cuisinart Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls Misen Chef's Knife via Food Fanatic http://ift.tt/2kslt56 Food Fanatic
