Grain-Free Apple Cobbler Recipe (Paleo)

Enjoy this grain-free apple cobbler with paleo-friendly nondairy topping to savor all the comfort of homemade while limiting the carbs.

My friend Juliann was kind enough to share this fabulous, seasonal recipe for Paleo apple cobbler with me. She told me that most people don’t realize that hazelnut flour tastes so much like wheat!

Note that flour made from soaked and dehydrated hazelnuts is better than using raw or roasted versions.

If you don’t have time for this process, you can use sprouted hazelnuts (I buy this brand). These are easily milled into flour using a coffee grinder (I use this one).

Sprouting and soaking accomplish very similar goals with regard to breaking down anti-nutrients and improving digestibility for nuts.

With treats like this that are amazingly delicious as well as nutritious, it is easy to limit those grain-based foods while sacrificing nothing in the taste and satisfaction department!

Hint: Add a dollop of nondairy homemade whipped cream on top of each serving of cobbler. It’s an easy and healthy alternative to dairy cream if you are sensitive.
