Preheat and prep: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.

Slice the apples: Core and thinly slice the apples. You can peel them, but leaving the skin adds fiber and color.

Toss the filling: In a bowl, combine sliced apples, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, lemon juice, a splash of vanilla (about 1/2 teaspoon), and a pinch of salt. Stir until coated. Spread in the baking dish.

Make the crisp topping: In another bowl, mix oats, almond flour, chopped nuts, remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir in melted coconut oil (or butter) and 1/4 cup maple syrup until crumbles form.

Assemble: Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples. Don’t pack it down—loose crumbs crisp better.

Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the apples are tender and the topping is golden and crisp. If the top browns too fast, tent loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.

Rest and serve: Let it cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm with a spoonful of Greek yogurt for protein and creaminess.
