1cupwhole oats make sure that they are certified GF
½cupPurecane brown Purecane brown is a zero calorie substitute for regular brown sugar that tastes and bakes like brown sugar.
⅓cupunbleached gluten-free all-purpose flour*see notes for non-GF variation
½teaspoonsalt
½cupwalnutsfinely diced
¼cupcoconut oilslightly melted and cooled
3tablespoonsoftened butter
1teaspooncinnamon
Apple mixture:
6-7large baking apples peeled and sliced into small wedges
1-2teaspooncinnamon for sprinklingI like a lot of cinnamon, so I do a generous sprinkle
¼cupPurecane granulated sugar substitutefor sprinkling on apples
Instructions
Combine all topping ingredients into a mixer
While mixing, preheat oven to 350 degrees F
When combined your topping should be crumbly
Peel and slice your apples and arrange in a medium-size baking dish (I use an 8 ½ x 11)
Sprinkle generously with cinnamon (1-2 teaspoon or more to taste)
Then top with about ¼ cup Purecane sugar substitute
Sprinkle your topping mixture over apples, then bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes
Let cool for about 15 minutes before serving
Notes
If gluten is of no concern, you can swap out the gluten-free flour for all-purpose white flour or spelt flour.
When coating the apples in cinnamon, I recommend starting with 1 to 2 teaspoons but when I make this recipe, I sprinkle the cinnamon with a very heavy hand -the more the better!
