Ingredients
For the Filling
- 2 pounds apples
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons arrowroot flour
For the Topping
- ¾ cup teff flour
- ¾ cup brown rice flour
- 6 tablespoons butter or coconut oil, melted
- ¼ cup maple syrup
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a large baking dish. Chop apples into approximately equal sized chunks. In a large bowl, combine maple syrup, lemon juice, water, cinnamon, and arrowroot flour. Add apples and toss to coat well. Transfer apple mixture to prepared casserole dish.
- In the same bowl add teff flour, brown rice flour, melted butter or coconut oil, and maple syrup. Stir until completely combined. Topping will have a cookie-dough-like consistency. Distribute topping evenly over apple mixture.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until apples become tender and topping begins to brown. Allow to cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Incorporate every last drop of that maple cinnamon goodness by using the same bowl for mixing both the filling and then the topping. After transferring the apple mixture to the baking dish, combine the topping ingredients in the same bowl. The flour will soak up the delightful flavor clinging to the inside of the bowl, and in the end, cleanup will be that much easier.
For a bonus time-saver, there’s no need to peel the apples before chopping. Apple skins are packed with pectin, a type of fiber that promotes a healthy digestive system. Pectin is a prebiotic, serving as food for probiotics, helpful bacterial living in the intestinal tract. An added benefit: pectin may aid in the absorption of iron.
