Ingredients

Scale

Apple Filling

  • 6 cups fresh apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (natural)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (natural)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Cinnamon Oat Topping

  • 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if desired)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (gluten-free if desired)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup cold plant-based butter substitute
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural) (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apple Filling: Peel, core, and slice the apples into evenly sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking. Gently toss the apple slices with lemon juice (natural), brown sugar (natural), cinnamon (natural), ground nutmeg (natural), and a small pinch of salt to create a spiced and slightly tangy filling.
  2. Make the Cinnamon Oat Topping: In a bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar (natural), cinnamon (natural), and salt. Cut in the cold plant-based butter substitute using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This cold butter substitute will help form a crispy and golden topping.
  3. Assemble the Crisp: Grease a baking dish and spread the apple mixture evenly inside. Generously sprinkle the cinnamon oat topping over the apples, making sure it covers every area. If desired, drizzle the maple syrup (natural) over the topping for added sweetness and shine.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the assembled apple crisp for 40 to 45 minutes until the apples are bubbly and tender, and the oat topping is golden brown and crispy. For extra crunch, broil for the last 2 to 3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the apple crisp to cool slightly before serving to help the layers set and make it easier to scoop. Serve warm with plant-based vanilla ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream for a delicious and cozy dessert.

Notes

  • Choose firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best tartness and texture.
  • Use cold plant-based butter substitute to keep the topping crumbly and prevent greasiness.
  • Do not skimp on cinnamon and nutmeg, as they greatly enhance the aroma and flavor.
  • Slice apples evenly to ensure consistent cooking and texture.
  • Let the crisp rest for 10 minutes after baking for improved flavor melding and easier serving.
