Instructions
The Filling

- Then add the rest of the filling ingredients in with your apple slices and mix until well combined.
- Place your apple mixture into a baking dish and spread out the apple layer evenly.
The Topping
- To create your crispy topping, place all of the topping ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
- Chop your pecan nuts and add to the dry ingredients.
- Then pour the melted coconut oil over the dry ingredients. Rub in the oil to create a crumble texture - a bit like rubble.

Notes
Cooking apples or granny smith apples work the best in this recipe if you like a strong apple flavour wth a slight tartness.
However, if you just want a super sweet dessert then braeburn, golden delicious or cox apples work perfectly for added sweetness.
