Ingredients -  

8 green apples (or apple of your choice) 

Juice of 1-2 lemons 

Grated rind of 1 lemon 

1 tbsp arrowroot 

2-3 tbsp coconut sugar 

½ tsp cinnamon 

1 cup almonds (or walnuts) 

1 cup rolled oats 

6 tbsp butter – softened 

¼ cup coconut sugar 

¼ tsp sea salt 

1 tsp vanilla extract 

Peel and core apples and cut into thick slices into a bowl that has the lemon juice. Toss the apples with the lemon juice.

Mix coconut sugar, lemon rind, arrowroot and cinnamon together and then toss with the apples. Place the apples in a buttered baking dish. 

Place almonds in a food processor and process to a rough powder. Add butter, rolled oats, coconut sugar, vanilla and salt and process until smooth (It will be like a paste).

Crumble the almond mixture over the top of the apples evenly. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Cover with aluminum foil for the first 40-45 minutes and finish baking without the foil.
