Grain and Sugar Free Apple Crisp | FoodsOfOurLives.com
I actually wasn’t going to post anything today, I didn’t have anything ready to go and we are throwing a party this weekend so I have baking and cleaning to get done.
Then I decided I was a little tired of eating eggs for breakfast and just wanted something Fall-ish. It’s still quite hot here in Florida but I still think I should get a little Fall flavor in my life.
The problem is, I have gone back to eating grain and sugar free now the move is over and things are settling into a routine and I realized I haven’t been as healthy I should be. This can feel fairly limiting at first when you get going on this type of eating but once you get the hang of it and get used to not having lots of sugary things to eat you feel amazing and just love it.
I whipped this up for my breakfast this morning sort of on a whim and I am madly in love with it.
Like MADLY.
Can I eat this forever?
I thought I was making a double portion for myself so I could save time tomorrow by eating the leftover but I ended up eating most of it. So depending on your appetite you could serve 1-2 people with this.
I, personally, think this is a perfect solution to a healthy, comforting breakfast.
- 1 large apple, diced (I used macintosh)
- ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- generous ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons low glycemic sweetener (I used agave but I know some have issues with that, erythritol is my other favorite and would work perfectly)
- ½ cup pecans, chopped
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- 1 tablespoon ground flax
- ½ cup coconut flakes
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice
- 4 tablespoons butter, soft
- Preheat your oven to 350˚.
- Combine the apple, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, coconut flour and sweetener, stir to coat with spices and flour, dump into a small baking dish (I used a 6" cake pan).
- In another bowl, combine the nuts, flax, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon sweetener, toss to combine.
- Using a fork, mash the butter into the nut mixture until it is all nicely coated with the butter.
- Dump the nut mixture over the apples and spread around into an even layer.
- Bake until the apples are soft and nuts are toasted, about 20 minutes.
- Let cool a bit and eat warm or piping hot just don't burn your tongue!
