Instructions
- Prep. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Making filling. Place apple slices in a large bowl and add brown sugar, lemon juice, spelt flour, and cinnamon. Toss gently to coat the apple slices, then transfer the mixture to the baking dish and spread apples into an even layer.
- Make topping. In a food processor, combine butter, spelt flour, almond butter, maple syrup, salt, and cinnamon. Pulse until just combined, then add oats and pulse just enough to incorporate them without breaking them down too much.
- Top & bake. Pour the topping over the prepared apples, evenly distributing over the top. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes, then allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving warm with vanilla cream or whipped cream. Yum!!
