Breakfast-Ready Apple Crisp
Over the years, my mom and I have tinkered with the crisp’s topping and this version is truly my favorite because it has a satisfying crunch and lots of flavor, thanks to the use of nuts and nut flour in the place of all-purpose flour. The nuts and nut flour also add protein making this not only a fantastic dessert but also a great make-ahead breakfast!

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a food processor, combine the oats, almond flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt and pulse until the mixture forms a coarse meal.
  3. Add the chopped nuts and pulse once.
  4. Cut the butter up into ½-inch chunks and add to the mixture. Pulse until the butter is broken up (some small lumps are fine!).
  5. Put the apples in the bottom of an 8 x 8-inch baking dish or a 9 to 12-inch oven-safe skillet, top them with the oat mixture, and bake it for 30 – 40 minutes, or until top is just starting to get golden.
Recipe Notes

Do Ahead and Delegate: Chop the nuts if necessary, prepare the dry ingredients of the topping, peel, core, and chop the apples and store them tossed with a little lemon juice to prevent browning, or fully prepare and refrigerate the dish. If refrigerated, warm in the microwave or enjoy cold.

Scramble Flavor Booster: Add ½ tsp. ground ginger to the topping mixture.
