Something Special Apple Crisp

½ cup all-purpose flour

⅓ cup rolled oats

⅓ cup shredded coconut

¼ cup white sugar

¼ cup light brown sugar

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

⅛ teaspoon baking powder

⅛ teaspoon baking soda

⅛ teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces and frozen

⅓ cup chopped walnuts

5 cups apples - peeled, cored and sliced

¼ cup white sugar

¼ cup light brown sugar

2 tablespoons instant tapioca

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.

Place the flour, rolled oats, coconut, 1/4 cup of white sugar, 1/4 cup of light brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and butter into the work bowl of a food processor. Pulse several times to make a mixture that looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in the walnuts.

In a large bowl, mix together the apples, 1/4 cup of white sugar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, tapioca, vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg until well combined. Pour the filling into the prepared pie dish; spread the topping evenly over the filling.

Bake in the preheated oven until the apple crisp is bubbling and golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
