Apple Crisp (Sprouted Flour, No Oats)
Leah Rae Verde
Sometimes less really is more. At least that is how I feel about Apple Crisp. I am not a huge fan of nuts, raisins, or coconut in an apple crisp and I especially don't like oats in my apple crisp. I love oatmeal, I love fresh baked oatmeal cookies, but I don't like the texture of oats when they haven't been baked with enough moisture (don't even get me started on the yuck factor of no-bake oatmeal cookies). I thought about making this recipe over with coconut flour for a grain free treat, but I couldn't do it, I love the simplicity of apples and spices topped with flour (sprouted flour), sugar (coconut sugar), and butter (grass-fed, of course). This has a little more sugar in it than I normally serve for breakfast, but on occasion (such as this morning) I love to serve this with plain homemade yogurt. For dessert it gets a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if we are having guests over. Honestly though it needs none of that, just a dish and spoon and a chance to savor each bite.
