Equipment

Food processor

Ingredients

4 cups apples sliced or chopped (I used Gala apples)
¾ cup almonds roasted, unsalted
¾ cup raisins or dates
3 T. coconut oil 1 T greasing dish. Could also use avocado or olive oil
¾ tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. ground cloves
¼ tsp. nutmeg
dash salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400.
Grease an 8x8 baking dish (or a 1.5 or 2 quart baking dish) with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
Place the sliced apples in the dish.
Add the remaining ingredients to your food processor. Process the mixture until it resembles the texture of coarse sand.
Evenly distribute the crumble mixture over the fruit.
Cover and bake for 25 minutes, then bake uncovered for another 10 -15 minutes, or until fruit is bubbling and apples are soft. Your topping should turn golden brown.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Start with the best baking apples you can (see above). My favorite is granny smith apples or applecrisp apples.

Add your favorite nut. In this recipe I used almonds, but I would definitely be up for trying a few different nuts, or a mixture of different kinds of nuts. If you try it, let me know.

To go totally off the rocker, you could absolutely make this into different fruit crisps like a berry apple crisp by substituting frozen mixed berries for the apples, or do half apples and half berries. The other day, I made it with pears and apples. Delish! It helps that crisps are one of my favorite desserts.
