Filling:

• ¾ cup maple syrup
• ½ cup cashew butter , I use NOW Foods salted caramel infused
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 2 ½ cups peeled chopped red apples , about 2 medium sized apples
• You can also add in an optional 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon for added flavor , optional

Topping:

• 2 cups rolled oats
• ½ cup cashew butter , I use NOW Foods salted caramel infused
• ½ cup maple syrup

Serving suggestions:

• Vanilla ice cream , vegan to keep this vegan
• Whipped cream , I use this homemade vegan version
• Make extra filling (minus the chopped apple) and drizzle on top like caramel

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F/175 C
2. Mix the maple syrup, cashew butter and sea salt in a large bowl until blended and caramel like.
3. Add in the apples and coat well. Pour the mix into a square baking dish (8 or 9 inch works).
4. Add all topping ingredients in a food processor and pulse until incorporated. You can also simply mix them in a bowl if you don’t mind the whole oats.
5. Using your hands, drop pieces of the topping over the apple, covering them evenly. It doesn’t have to be pretty, just covered lightly.
6. Bake at 350 F/175 C for 35 minutes or until beginning to brown on top. Do not over bake or it will dry out.
7. Serve fresh with toppings of choice!
