It's officially day 3 of our Healthy Holidays challenge and we've heard nothing but RAVE reviews from our participants. We happen to think this is our best meal plan yet and it sounds like our group agrees! 

This Harvest Apple crisp is a snack from day one BUT it can also double as a delicious dessert. Dessert for a snack? On a "diet"?!?! WRONG. Only because this isn't and never will be a diet! But dessert for a snack is always a yes in our book! (You didn't hear this from me but it tastes delicious with some vanilla ice cream when you're done with the challenge.) 

Harvest Apple Crisp 

Serves 6 

Filling 

3 medium apples, chopped (we recommend Braeburn apples!) 

3 Tablespoons maple syrup 

2 Tablespoons almond flour 

1 ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 

½ teaspoon vanilla 

1 scoop collagen peptides (optional for extra protein) 

3 Tablespoons almond milk 

Topping 

¾ cup pecans or walnuts, chopped 

½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes 

¼ cup almond flour 

¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 

2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup 

Preheat oven to 350. Grease 8x8-inch baking pan or glass pie dish with coconut oil. In a large bowl, add all filling ingredients and stir until apples are fully coated. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking pan. Smooth into an even layer. Add all topping ingredients to a medium bowl. Stir well until crumbles form. Gently spoon evenly over the apples, making sure to keep crumbles intact. Bake for 45 minutes or until the top is a golden-brown color. Let sit for at least 15 minutes before enjoying!
