Apple Crisp

Fall is apple season and there are so many fun recipes to come up with that use apples! This apple crisp will soon move to the top your list! Apples and cinnamon are one of the most delicious combos. I used gluten free oats and pecans as the main ingredients in the topping for this simple apple crisp. Flaxseeds add a healthy dose of fiber and instead of adding any refined sugar, this dessert is sweetened with maple syrup and coconut palm sugar.

You also don’t need to save this for dessert. Apple Crisp topped with Culina Coconut Milk Yogurt also makes for a perfect breakfast! Your house will smell amazing too!!
