This easy-to-make grain-free apple crisp has just a hint of cinnamon and makes a delicious dessert, snack, or breakfast. I’ve always loved apple desserts. When I’m baking a recipe with apples in it, somehow, it makes my whole home feel cozy and healthy at the same time!
Just look at that plate of apple crisp! It gets the senses going. It looks good and tastes yummy, and baked apples are one of the best smells ever.
Tips For Making Grain-Free Apple Crisp:
- Using two or three different types of apples in a recipe gives the finished dish a much richer taste. In this recipe, I combined Golden Delicious and Fuji apples.
- I added gelatin protein to this recipe to add extra nutrition, and it helps the crumble to have a crispier texture. The gelatin is optional in the recipe, but it might lose some of the crispiness if you decide not to use it.
- To make it sugar-free, use erythritol and stevia instead of the sugar.

Description
Easy to make grain-free apple crisp with just a hint of cinnamon. With a sugar-free option.
Ingredients
8 cups sliced apples, peeled and sliced thin. (Around 6 medium to large apples.)*
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup blanched almond flour
1 cup golden flax meal
3/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup gelatin (protein powder), optional but does help give a crispy texture and adds protein.
1/4 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon mineral salt
For Sugar-Free Version:
8 cups sliced apples, peeled and sliced thin. (Around 6 medium to large apples.)*
2 tablespoons erythritol, or erythritol based sweetener blend
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup blanched almond flour
1 cup golden flax meal
3/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup gelatin (protein powder), optional but does help give a crispy texture and adds protein.
1/4 cup erythritol, or erythritol based sweetener blend
1/4 teaspoon stevia (omit if using a sweetener blend)
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon mineral salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°.
Peel and thinly slice apples. Place apples in 9 x 11 inch baking pan. Mix 2 tablespoons sugar with the 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and sprinkle over apples.
Mix almond flour, golden flax meal, sugar, gelatin, baking powder, and salt together and then mix in melted coconut oil. Crumble mixture evenly over apples.
Bake uncovered for 25 minutes and then remove from oven. Lower oven temperature to 325°. Cover with aluminum foil (shiny side up). Bake for 15 more minutes.
Apples should be tender and the crisp should be golden brown.
Notes
*I like to use at least 2 different types of apple to get more flavor like Golden Delicious and Fuji. Look for apples that are listed as being good in baking.
Use Granny Smith apples if you are following THM.

What if we did Baking Blend instead of almond flour?? Would that work and would you know the amount to use?
MamaShire
I haven’t tried it with the baking blend so I can’t say exactly, but the THM baking blend is a thirstier flour so maybe try a little less. Let me know if you try it and how it works.

Can I substitute oat flour for almond flour? We have a friend who’s part of our home group who is almond and egg allergic, and I love to bake, but am at a loss as to yummy deserts for our group. This would be perfect!
MamaShire
Hi Jo Anne, I haven’t tried that myself in this recipe, but I believe the oat flour will work just fine. Hope you all enjoy it!
Amanda
Never heard of gelatin protein powder , do you have a specific brand you use?
Thanks
MamaShire
Yes, I use Great Lakes gelatin. There is a direct link to it on Amazon. Just click the word gelatin that is highlighted and it will take you there.

I love this recipe. It turned out delicious. I added some additional flax meal to make it a little more bulky.
MamaShire
So glad you loved it! And good idea with the flax meal.
