Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup monk fruit sweetener
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup ghee
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Apple Pie Filling
- 1 apples medium
- 1 tablespoon ghee
- 3 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon tapioca flour
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Start by making the oatmeal cookie cups: In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients of almond flour, oats, cinnamon, salt and baking soda.
- In a second, slightly smaller bowl, mix together: monk fruit sugar, maple syrup, eggs, ghee, and vanilla extract.
- Gently pour the mixed wet ingredients into the larger dry ingredient bowl and combine until well incorporated.
- Taking a small ice cream scooper, spoon, or tablespoon, spoon out roughly 2 tablespoons of sough into a greased muffin tin, gentle pressing back of spoon (or fingers) in the center to create a dent where the apple pie filling will be placed. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown
- While the cookie cups are baking, prepare the apple pie filling by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add ghee to the pan and let it melt.
- Once the ghee has melted, add chopped apples and cinnamon and allow to cook together for roughly 3 minutes, or until the apples get a bit soft.
- In the same skillet, you'll add the remaining ingredients of maple syrup, tapioca flour and a pinch of salt. Stir together and then remove from heat to allow the filling to thicken. Roughly 10 minutes or so.
- Once the cookie cups have been removed from the oven, cooled, and the apple pie filling thickened to your liking, place a heaping scoop of the filling in the dented area you created prior to baking (you may need to press this down a bit more again to get the desired amount of filling in the cup).
- Once all of the cups have been filled, bake again in preheated oven for 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool before enjoying. Feel free to add any topping you'd like and enjoy!
