Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8x8" baking dish.

Step 2

To the baking dish, add the diced apples, coconut oil, maple syrup, ground cinnamon and lemon juice. Add two tablespoons of water or apple juice. Stir until evenly coated. Cover the dish with foil or parchment paper then transfer to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until apples are firm but tender on the inside.

Step 3

Meanwhile prepare the crisp topping by combining all of the ingredients together in a large bowl. Stir until everything is evenly combined then set aside.

Step 4

Remove the baking dish from the oven. Carefully distribute the crisp topping over the top so that all of the sides are covered. Return to oven, uncovered, for an additional 25-30 minutes. The top should be golden brown when done.

Step 5

Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce (optional), and enjoy! Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
