Ingredients
For the Topping:
2 tablespoons butter
2 packed tablespoons of brown sugar or coconut sugar
1-1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of salt
3/4 cup gluten-free old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup sliced almonds
For the Apples:
2 tablespoons butter
1 packed tablespoon brown sugar or coconut sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 medium-sized tart apples, peeled then cut into bite-sized pieces (about 2 cups)
Whipped cream for topping (optional)
Directions
For the Topping:
Add the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt to a medium-sized saute pan over medium heat then stir until melted and bubbly.
Add oats and almonds then cook, stirring often, especially near the end, until mixture is very fragrant and slightly toasted, 4-5 minutes.
Scrape onto parchment paper (could probably just use a plate too,) then set aside to cool.
For the Apples:
Add butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon to the same skillet then stir until melted and bubbly.
Add apples then turn the heat down slightly and saute for 2 minutes. Cover skillet with a lid then saute, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender but still have a little bit of a bite, 3-5 more minutes.
Scoop apples into bowls then top with crisp topping and serve with whipped cream if desired.
