Ingredients

For the almond streusel topping

1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter unsalted, about 1/2 a stick

For the apples

5 apples peeled and sliced; I used Honeycrisp, but use your favorite baking apple
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 orange juiced
1 splash brandy optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F. While the oven is heating, mix almond flour, cinnamon and salt together. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender (or 2 knives, or with clean hands) so that the topping resembles course crumbs. Set aside.
Combine apples, sugar, cinnamon, orange juice, and optional brandy in a bowl. Mix well. Pack into a deep oven-proof baking/serving pie dish.
Spoon struesel topping over the apples. Bake in preheated oven for 55-65 minutes or until apples are soft and bubbling and the topping is crisp. Serve with homemade whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.

Notes

Keep an eye on it while baking since the almond flour streusel can brown (and burn) quickly. If the topping begins to get too dark, tent with foil for the last 10-15 minutes or so.
