1.5 cups rolled oats
0.5 cup almond flour
0.3 cup pure maple syrup
0.25 cup coconut oil
1 tbsp Ceylon cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Grease a 9-inch baking dish lightly with coconut oil.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon until evenly coated.
Arrange the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish in a uniform layer.
In a separate bowl, mix the oats, almond flour, maple syrup, coconut oil, and remaining cinnamon.
Stir the topping ingredients until the mixture reaches a crumbly consistency.
Spread the topping mixture evenly over the arranged apple base.
Bake for 40 minutes until the apples are bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
