Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Wash apples well. Slice, core and dice apples and pears. In a large bowl, combine apples, pears, lemon juice, cornstarch, sugar and cinnamon. Mix well and layer into a lightly greased 9 x 9 baking dish.

In a medium size bowl, combine oats, almond meal, walnuts, maple syrup, vanilla and salt, mix well. Spread oat mixture evenly over the apples and sprinkle with a little cinnamon.

Bake for 35 - 40 minutes, or until apples and pears are fork tender. Let cool 5 - 10 minutes before serving.
