Notes
- It's best to measure the ingredients by weight since different flours/dates can vary by volume.
- You can also use oat flour if you are gluten-free.
- Chop the apples last just before you mix all ingredients in the bowl so they don't turn brown.
- The apple pie mixture should be thick and sticky.
- You can also add a dusting of powdered sugar on top if you like sweeter topping.
