Ingredients
- 3 lbs apples
- 2 T grass fed butter or other fat
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- juice of 1/2 lemon optional
- 1/2 C coconut flour
- 1/2 C grass fed butter, melted or very soft
- 6 egg whites OR 3 whole eggs
- 3 T honey
- 1 tsp vanilla OR vanilla paste, powder, or seeds
- 1 tsp baking soda
- dash salt (larger dash if using unsalted butter)
Instructions
- Peel, core, and slice apples. Melt 2 T butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven (oven safe if you have one) and sauté apples with cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until softened, about 10 minutes. The apples don't need to be fully cooked yet.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. While the apples are cooking, mix all topping ingredients in a bowl. Stir the apples from time to time. If juices start to accumulate, remove the cover and leave it off to let the excess liquid boil away.
- If you are cooking the apples in a cast iron skillet, you can pour the topping directly over them to bake. If not, move the apples to a baking dish such as an 8" square pan or whatever size holds the apples comfortably before adding the topping.
- Smooth the topping mixture over the apples and bake 15-20 minutes at 375°F or until the topping is done and the apples are bubbling around the edges. (Alternatively, drop it by spoonfuls over the apples and don't smooth it out.)
- Cool a few minutes. Serve warm either plain or with whipped cream, cultured cream, or ice cream.
