- Toss the sliced apples with the arrowroot powder. Melt the butter and use a fork to mix it into the oat topping.
- Add apples to a skillet toss the topping on top filling in the gaps between the apples. I like some apples showing on the top! Top with pumpkin seeds if desired and bake for approximately 30 minutes until apples appear baked and the crisp is lightly golden on top!
