Step-by-step Directions
1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot enough for baking the apple crisp.
2. Prepare the Baking Dish

3. Prepare the Apples
Peel and slice the apples into medium-sized slices. Place the slices into a large mixing bowl.
4. Season the Apples
Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla extract to the apples. Mix well to ensure all apple slices are evenly coated with the spices.
5. Arrange in Baking Dish
Spread the spiced apple mixture evenly at the bottom of the greased baking dish.
6. Prepare the Crumble Topping
In another mixing bowl, combine the oats, coconut sugar, maple syrup, oat flour, almond flour, softened coconut oil, and salt.
7. Assemble the Crisp
Evenly spread the oat mixture over the apples in the baking dish.
8. Bake
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the apples are bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
