Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling
8 apples cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/4 c apple cider
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c light brown sugar
2 tbsp all purpose flour
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp salt
For the Topping
1 1/2 c quick-cooking oats
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
3/4 c light brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 c vegan butter, cold
1/2 c chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or a similar-sized ovenproof dish. Set aside.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the apples, apple cider, sugar, light brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Toss until the apples are evenly coated. Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Prepare the Topping: In another bowl, mix together the quick-cooking oats, all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold, cubed vegan butter to the oat mixture. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the cold vegan butter into the oat mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. You should still have some small butter chunks. If you're using pecans, fold them into the topping mixture.
- Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apple filling in the baking dish. Try to tuck the pecans under the oats and flour so they don’t burn. Place dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the apple crisp from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, preferably with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream or a dollop of vegan whipped cream.
