Coconut Almond Apple Crisp

Simple, sweet, and ready for year-round baking!

This simple dessert is perfect for holiday dinners, summer parties, and everything in between! Not only is it simple to throw together — but depending on the type of apples you use, you can literally make it all year! I chose honey crisp apples for this recipes because I love the slightly sweet, balanced tart flavor they have and think it really rounds this dessert — without going overboard on the sweet-factor!

I didn’t want to call this a “healthified” apple crisp, because I don’t think there is anything wrong with baking a family classic, adding butter into a crumble topping or using whatever sugar you have at home. This crisp is simply made with real food, whole ingredients to keep the highly-processed ingredients to a minimum.

I think my favorite part of this recipe is the crumble — it’s delicious, crunchy, and a little spicy with cinnamon and ginger. I would honestly eat the crumble plain or on top of literally anything! I think you’re going to love this one too.

This crisp is…

warming
classic
nutritious
gluten-free
dairy-free
& looks way fancier than it is! (I’m a sucker for those tricks!)
