Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling
8 apples, peeled and sliced*
1/4 cup apple cider
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Topping
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup vegan butter, cold
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or a similar-sized ovenproof dish. Set aside.
- Toss: Add the apples, apple cider, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Toss together using your hands or a wooden spoon. Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Mix: In another bowl, mix together the oats, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold, cubed vegan butter to the oat mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the dry mixture. Continue until everything is wet and crumbly. If you're using pecans, stir them into the topping mixture. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apple filling in the baking dish. Try to tuck the pecans under the crumble so they don’t burn.
- Bake: Place dish on center rack of preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling around the edges. Allow the crisp to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream or a dollop of vegan whipped cream.
Notes
*Prepared Apple Crisp will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. This recipe can also be frozen for up to 1 month.
*You can use any apples in this recipe. I like to use a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp.
*While you are welcome to use your utensils of choice, I prefer to use my hands when making the crumble topping. This way I can really work the butter into the dry ingredients.
*This recipe can be made gluten-free very easily! Simply replace the flour in the filling with cornstarch and the flour in the topping with gluten-free all purpose flour.
