Massive Apple Crisp/Crumble (dairy, soy, nut free)

• 12 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced.

• 1/2 cup tapioca starch

• 2 cups brown sugar, divided

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (wheat or gluten-free)

• 1 cup plain oats

• 1/2 cups beef tallow

• 1/2 cups avocado oil

• 1 teaspoon nutmeg

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

In a large mixing bowl, toss your sliced apples in the tapioca starch, 1 cup of the brown sugar, and the nutmeg. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Melt the beef tallow, if needed. Add the flour, oats, 1 cup of brown sugar, salt, and baking powder to another large mixing bowl, and whisk the ingredients together. Add the melted tallow and oil, and mix until the fat is incorporated into the dry ingredients, it'll look a bit like damp sand.

Add the sliced apples to a 9x13" casserole pan, mounding them evenly across the pan if necessary. Take the crumb mixture by hand, and press it into the top of the apple layer, until it creates a packed shell around the apples.

Place on the middle rack of your pre-heated oven until the apple filling is bubbling and the crumb is golden brown, about 1 1/2 hours. Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes before serving with non-dairy whipped topping.
