Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking your apple crisp evenly.

- You can substitute almond flour with whole wheat flour for a different texture.
- For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup.
- Let the apple crisp cool slightly before serving to allow the juices to thicken.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt for an extra indulgence.
