Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line the baking pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, maple syrup, vanilla, and melted ghee. Mix until well combined.
Add about ¾ of the shortbread mixture to baking pan and press it out to the sides of the pan.
Bake for 8-10 minutes.
When the shortbread layer is baking, skin and chop the apples. You want the apple to be about ½ in by ½ in.
Add the apples to a sauce pan with maple syrup.
Simmer for about 8-10 minutes in the maple syrup.
Add the arrowroot powder and mix well.
Once the shortbread layer is done baking, remove from the oven. Pour the apple mixture on top and spread evenly.
Top with the remaining ¼ of the shortbread mixture.
Put the baking pan back in the oven and bake another 14-16 minutes or until the crumble starts to brown.
Cut into 12 equal squares.

Save leftovers in an air tight container in the fridge.
