I want to just pick up a utensil (probably a spoon, but maybe a fork) and dig in. The recipe is made with simple ingredients, with the secret ingredient to getting the topping to look and feel like a traditional crisp or crumble being coconut butter. Have you used it? It is a little different than coconut oil. Coconut butter includes the meat of the coconut, while coconut oil does not. It is firmer and you usually have to soften it a little by letting it sit in a bowl of hot water while you get the recipe started, but it is so worth it. It is easy to make in fact, all you do is blend unsweetened coconut shreds or flakes. That’s it! You’re welcome. It’s like two recipes for one this post!
Anyway, back to this simple and sweet paleo apple crisp. Hurry up and make some. You can do it in a cast iron skillet like I did to achieve the savory, rich, and indulgent look, or just use a 9×9 inch pan. Either way, I suspect it won’t stick around too long. We made it over the Memorial Day weekend when we had visitors staying with us and again another weekend in June. I topped it with a little Coconut Bliss Vanilla ice cream, and it was so so tasty. The rich and creamy ice cream on top with the crumbly topping and cinnamon apples. I just can’t get over this one. Put this paleo apple crisp on your agenda this coming weekend!
