Normally I don’t do a lot of baking for my family. I am just not to confident in that department. My kids do go without dessert a lot of the time. It is time to polish up this skill because I have a lot of homegrown apples that I need to use up. This is the first year that we have had a decent crop of apples off of our trees and they also taste good. They are not sweet apples and rather tart and good on a low carb diet. It is also hard to overeat tart apples as they make your mouth pucker up even when picking them off the tree!

This recipe tastes great and is a very healthy. It is also very aromatic and will make your house smell delicious!

Nutty Apple Crisp

2 cups of chopped tart apples (peeled and cored)

2 tablespoons of lemon juice

1 cup of ground almonds (preferably soaked and dried to remove anti-nutrients)

1 cup of chopped pecans (preferably soaked and dried to remove anti-nutrients)

1/2 cup of dessicated sugar free coconut

1/2 cup of butter

1 tsp of cinnamon

1/2 tsp of nutmeg

2 tsp of vanilla

4 drops of NOW non bitter stevia

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F

Peel your apples, core and chop into small pieces. Drizzle lemon juice over apples.

Mix in a bowl ground almonds, chopped pecans, coconut, cinnamon, nutmeg, stevia and vanilla. Add butter to the bowl and work it into the “crumb” ingredients.

Take half of the crumb mixture and place it into a 9″ square baking dish. Add apples and top with the remainder of the crumb mixture.

Bake for 30 minutes or until apples are soft.

Enjoy!!
