Serve this simple, nutritious grain-free crisp during autumn and winter when apples are in season. I like to make this dessert and serve it after a hearty meal of roasted organic chicken, root vegetables, and steamed kale. Because the topping can burn easily, I partially cook the filling first on the stove and then transfer it to a baking dish and add the topping. 

Ingredients

Filling

5 medium granny smith apples cored and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoons arrowroot powder
1 teaspoons cinnamon
¼ teaspoons ground nutmeg

Topping

2 cups raw walnuts
1 cups pitted medjool dates
¼ cups arrowroot powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 pinches sea salt
