RATE RECIPE
Ingredients
Spiced Apples
- 10 granny smith apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
Gluten-Free Biscuits
- 1¾ cups almond flour
- 1 cup gluten-free oat flour - see note
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cold unsalted grassfed butter - cut into small pieces (see note)
- 1 egg - see note
- ½ cup plain full fat greek yogurt - see note
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F and set aside a greased 9x13 baking dish.
- Stir together apples, lemon juice, coconut sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger in a large mixing bowl.
- Place a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add coconut oil and apple mixture to the saucepan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until apples slightly soften and caramelize.
- Spoon cooked apples into the baking dish. Let cool while you make the biscuits.
- Combine almond flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Cut butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter (you can also use a grater to create small pieces of butter). You will want pea-sized pieces of butter throughout flour mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, yogurt, and maple syrup until smooth.
- Pour wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir to combine.
- Use a large ice cream scoop to drop about 1/3 cup of biscuit batter on top of cooked apples, creating 12 biscuits total.
- Brush the tops of each biscuit with melted butter (or butter replacement).
- Bake in the oven for 16-18 minutes, or until tops of biscuits are golden brown. Let cool about 15 minutes then serve (vanilla ice cream makes a great topping).
Notes
- You may substitute oat flour for all-purpose flour or whole-wheat flour (note that it won’t be gluten-free with these changes).
- Make sure the butter is really cold (like right out of the fridge). This makes it easier to cut into the flour mixture.
- For vegan cobbler, replace butter with butter alternative, egg with an egg alternative (like ground flaxseed or chia seeds), and greek yogurt with plain full-fat dairy-free yogurt (like coconut or almond).
