Extra Crispy Apple Crisp

Looking for a great family dessert for fall?  Use something with apples since apples are in season!  I have been going fall recipe crazy and I have recently created my own extra crisp apple crisp! (aka apple crisp with an extra layer of crisp)
For the first layer:
In the food processor put
1 cup of raw almonds (or half almond, half another nut, such as hazelnut)
1 cup of oats
and blend that too a crumble
then add
3/4 cup of raisins
2 tbsp of coconut oil
1tsp of of vanilla extract
Then blend all of it together until well mixed and crumbled
Then empty into baking pan and press down into bottom

Middle layer:
Chop up a medium sized apple or 2 small apples (I used fresh Macintosh from the farmers market)
Put in a bowl with
2tsp of cinnamon
2 tbsps of maple syrup
Toss all of this together until apples are coated

Then spread out in baking pan on top of bottom layer
Top layer:
For the top layer in a bowl add....
1 cup of oats
1/4 cup of coconut sugar
1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
1 tbsp of coconut oil
Now press ingredients into coconut oil to mix (as you would when using butter in a recipe) until it becomes a crumble then spread on very top

Then bake in oven at 375 degrees for about 30-45 mins (until apples have become cooked)
The cut and serve! Enjoy!

Apple Cinnamon Walnut Pancakes

I may have perfected my favourite fall breakfast!  It is apple season and the best thing to use apples in is breakfast and dessert!  So I created the best apple fall breakfast!








Recipe:
Let 1/3 cup of  quinoa, 1/3 cup of rice and 1/3 of a cup of buckwheat soak in 2 cups of water overnight

Then pour all of it (including the water) in a blender and add 2 tsps of cinnamon, ¼ cup of ground flax seeds and blend until smooth.
Then pour into a bowl and mix in ¼ cup of sorghum flour and 2 tbsps of coconut sugar.
Cut up a small apple into tiny cube pieces…skin on or off up to you!
Crush up walnuts into small pieces
Pour mix into frying pan (size is up to you) and place apple pieces  and sprinkle walnuts into the batter before it cooks all the way through and flip when ready. (which is when pancake is almost cooked all the way through) Warning, after being flipped apples may slightly stick to the pan so don't leave them on the flipped side too long.

Topping: In a separate bowl add all left over apple junks, crushed up walnuts and 2 tbsp of maple syrup mix in together and pour on top of your pancakes
