Ingredients
  

For the Crust/Crumble:
  • 2 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoon coconut flour
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • cup coconut oil melted
For the Apple Filling:
  • 5 medium apples peeled and diced
  • 2-3 tablespoon maple syrup adjust according to how sweet you like it
  • 2 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ tablespoon tapioca flour can sub arrowroot flour
  • ¼ cup water

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350℉ and line a 8x8 pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix together all crust/crumble ingredients until you have a dough. Press ⅔ of the dough into the prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes.
  3. While the dough is baking, begin making the filling. Add apples and water to a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until the apples start to soften. Add in the rest of the ingredients and continue to cook for about 5-10 minutes or until you have a thick apple pie filling texture.
  4. Remove crust from the oven and add the apple pie filling evenly over top. Crumble the remaining ⅓ of dough evenly across the top of the filling and return to oven to bake for 18-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool before slicing and enjoying!
