Submitted by David Weaver on Mon, 01/04/2010 - 8:00am
1 cup almond meal1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
2 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
½ cup coconut oil
5 dates, pitted and chopped
1 tbs vanilla extract
5 medium apples, peeled, sliced, then chopped in half width-wise.
In a large bowl combine almond meal, coconut flakes, cinnamon and nutmeg. In a smaller bowl combine oil (heat coconut oil until it liquefies) and vanilla. Stir in chopped dates. Stir wet ingredients into dry. Use a fork to mash it all together; you want a crumbly consistency. Place apples in a 2-3 quart glass baking dish. Sprinkle with cinnamon then sprinkle topping over apples. Cover & bake at 350 for 50 minutes on low rack. When apples are soft and their juices bubble, remove cover and bake 10 more minutes to brown crisp. Serve warm!
