Instructions
- Prep the oven and pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Make the crust: In a food processor, combine the almond flour, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Pulse until a dough forms. Press evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes until golden and cool on a wire rack.
- Prepare the filling: Heat coconut oil in a skillet. Peel, core, and slice the apples, then add to the skillet. Stir in maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Cook until apples are tender, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
- Make the topping: Combine all topping ingredients in the food processor. Pulse until crumbly.
