After slicing the apple (I made this little dessert with just one apple), I sprinkled the slices with a bit of sea salt and then tossed them in some coconut sugar and cinnamon.
Then I laid the slices out flat on my Excalibur dehydrator and dehydrated them for a few hours on 105 degrees, which softened the apples considerably.
Once the apples were soft, I placed the slices in a bowl and drizzled a very small amount of raw local honey over them and mixed it all up a bit. Besides adding a little extra sweetness, the honey gave the effect of that wonderful apple glaze you get in a baked apple pie.
I put some pecans and dates in the food processor, along with a very small amount of coconut oil, and processed to get the crumb crust. Then I pressed the mixture into a small baking dish, which was not destined for the oven. Then I arranged the apple slices inside. I could have just as easily placed the apple slices in first and then put the crumbs on top and called it apple crisp, but either way you arrange it, it really did taste yummy!
