  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon Celtic sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon zest
  • 5 tablespoons grass-fed butter or coconut oil (for vegan)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Make the filling:

  1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees
  2. Mix the sugar, arrowroot, cinnamon, and ginger together in a small bowl.
  3. Put the apples and cranberries in a large bowl
  4. Leave separate and set aside while you make the topping.

Make the topping:

  1. Mix the pecans, almond flour, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, salt and lemon zest together in a bowl.
  2. Melt the butter in a small pan.
  3. Add the vanilla to the butter.
  4. Pour the butter over the nut/flour mixture and mix until all the flour is moistened.

Put it together:

  1. Stir sugar mixture into the apples.
  2. Sprinkle with lemon
  3. Taste, the apple should be slightly sweeter than you’d like. Add more sugar if needed.
  4. Scrape the apple mixture into a 2-quart baking dish, it will be very full, mound slightly in the middle.
  5. Scatter the topping over the apples.
  6. Place baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any bubbling juices that may spill over.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes until the topping is nicely brown and the apple juices are bubbling. If the topping gets too brown before the apples are bubbling loosely cover with foil.
  8. Transfer to a rack and let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve alone or with whipped cream (dairy or coconut) or ice cream.
