Ingredients
  • 5 large or 7 medium apples peeled and sliced.
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 cup cassava flour
  • ½ cup coconut oil, palm shortening or grass fed butter
  • juice from ½ lemon
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp ceylon cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 4 sprigs of lemon thyme (leaves removed) + more for garnish.
Instructions
  1. Peel and thinly slice apples. Place in a bowl.
  2. In a small bowl add lemon juice, maple syrup, cinnamon, lemon thyme leaves and vanilla extract. Mix well and then pour over apple and mix until all are coated.
  3. Transfer apples to a baking dish.
  4. In a separate bowl add coconut sugar, cassava flour, coconut oil/palm shortening/grass fed butter (should be room temp/softened) and ¼ tsp sea salt. Mix well until crumbly. You can also toss everything into a food processor and pulse until mixed. I prefer this method.
  5. Pour mixture evenly over the top of the apples.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 min until bubbling.
  7. Top with additional lemon thyme sprigs.
  8. You can serve plain or with a scoop of coconut cream or coconut milk ice cream.
Notes
Use organic whenever possible!
I marked this as Autoimmune Protocol compliant. Per the ingredients it is, however, there is a good amount of sugar so be cautious on portion size.
