Instructions
Shortbread Layer
  1. Preheat oven to 350° and line a 9-inch square pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, make the shortbread. Combine the almond flour, coconut flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt. Mix until well combined
  3. Divide the dough into 4th's and use press 3/4 into the bottom of the pan and save the remaining 1/4 in a small bowl for the topping.
  4. Bake shortbread for 12-14 minutes- it should be lightly brown around the edges.
Apple Layer
  1. While the shortbread bakes, make the apple layer. Place apples in a medium bowl and add apple pie spice, salt, and arrowroot powder. Toss to coat evenly. Dump into a small saucepan and add the maple syrup. Cook on medium heat, stirring the whole time until thickened- about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Once the shortbread is baked, remove and let cool 5 minutes. Then scoop the apple mixture onto the shortbread, spreading it as evenly as possible.
Crumble Topping
  1. Take the remaining 1/4 of the shortbread mixture and add the apple pie spice. Mix together and sprinkle evenly over the apple mixture. Press down slightly so it stays in place.
  2. Bake for 20-22 minutes. Enjoy warm and store all leftovers in the fridge.
