It’s hard to believe how delicious this alternative apple crisp can taste considering there are so few ingredients and almost no added sugar! You will get all the satisfaction you are seeking from a hearty apple pie, but with no guilt and with no digestive issues from inflammatory ingredients. It’s a win win! I love to top this with full-fat coconut yogurt or coconut ice cream. Mmmm I’m salivating as I write this. Luckily, Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and this will definitely be present on our dessert table :)

Easy substitutions:

You can swap the apples for any seasonal fruit of your choices (plums, peaches…)
You can use almond flour instead of coconut flour
Can can add chopped almonds the the crumb topping for added nuttiness
