Instructions
Have ready a 9" square pan, or a 8" x 10" pan. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Oat Pecan Topping:
Heat coconut oil, (microwave works fine) until it has melted slightly, and is no longer solid. Add the oil to a medium sized bowl with the rest of the topping / Oat Pecan Layer ingredients, stir to combine.
Apple-Raspberry Layer:
Place the apple cider in a medium sized bowl - add the apples as you cut them and toss to coat, the cider will keep them from browning. Add the sugar, gluten-free flour all purpose flour, cinnamon and salt to the apples. Mix to combine.
Portion the apple mixture into the baking dish. Add raspberries, tucking them in a bit. Top the apples with the Oat Pecan topping, press down lightly. Place on a rimmed baking tray to fit and bake in the oven until bubbly around the edges and golden brown on top, approximately 25 minutes.
*Rapudura sugar is an unrefined and unbleached whole cane sugar with caramel notes. Can substitute coconut palm sugar or light brown sugar.
May substitute regular flour for gluten-free.
The crisp can be made into eight single serving baking dishes.
