Apple Crisp

Tender, caramelized apples under a crispy pecan-oat topping

The best vegan apple crisp, naturally sweetened and made in one bowl! Recipe is adapted from Minimalist Baker.

Ingredients

  • 8 medium-large apples (half tart (like granny smith), half sweet (like honey crisp))

  • 1 lemon, juiced (1 lemon yields ~ 2 Tbsp or 30 ml)

  • 2/3 cup coconut sugar (or sub cane sugar)

  • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon

  • 3 Tbsp arrowroot starch or cornstarch (for thickening)

  • 1/4 cup fresh apple juice (or water)

  • 3/4 tsp fresh grated ginger (optional or sub 1/2 tsp ground ginger per 3/4 tsp fresh)

  • 1 pinch nutmeg (optional)

TOPPING

  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats

  • 1/2 cup almond meal

  • 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour*

  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar (or sub organic cane sugar)

  • 1/2 cup muscovado sugar (or sub turbinado sugar or brown sugar)

  • 1/2 cup pecans (roughly chopped)

  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil or olive oil (or mix the two 1/2, 1/2)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Peel apples, quarter, remove cores, and use a paring knife to thinly slice lengthwise.

  3. Add to a large mixing bowl and top with remaining filling ingredients. Toss to combine. Add to a 9×13-inch (or similar size) baking dish.

  4. Rinse and wipe out your mixing bowl and add all topping ingredients. Stir to combine, then use fingers to break down any clumps of sugar. Pour over apples in an even layer.

  5. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour (uncovered) or until the filling is bubbly, the apples are very fork tender (especially in the center of the dish), and the topping is deep golden brown.

  6. Let rest at least 30 minutes before serving. This is delicious with coconut whipped cream or vanilla bean coconut ice cream. Enjoy!
