Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 6 apples peeled, cored, and sliced (SEE NOTE)
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup not artificial syrup
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ cup granulated sugar see note
  • 3 tablespoon lemon juice
  • FOR THE TOPPING
  • 2 cups rolled oats use gluten-free if needed
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour see note for gluten-free option
  • 1 cup pecans coarsely chopped
  • 12 tablespoons vegan butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon finely ground sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square or round cake pan.
  • In a large bowl, stir the ¼ cup maple syrup, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg,
  • ½ cup granulated sugar, and 3 tablespoon lemon juice until the apples are coated with the spices.
  • Evenly spread the apples in the pan.
  • FOR THE TOPPING
  • Use the same mixing bowl that you used for the apples and add the 2 cups whole oats, 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 cup pecans, 12 tbs vegan butter, ½ cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon finely ground sea salt. Use your hands to break the butter down into pea size pieces. It should be completely incorporated into the oat and flour mixture.
  • Evenly layer the oat and flour mixture over the apples and bake for 50 minutes, or until the apples are soft and bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
  • Lower the heat to 200°F (93°C) and leave the crisp in the oven for another 20 minutes. This will make the apple filling so rich and caramel like. (Optional)

NUTRITION DISCLAIMER 
  • One serving for us is about ¾ of a cup. 
    For the best flavor, use a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp or Fuji apples.
    To ensure that the granulated sugar is vegan, use organic or beet sugar.
    Use an all-purpose gluten-free flour if this needs to be a gluten-free apple crisp.
    Store covered in the refrigerator. Warm it in the oven or eat it cold.
    Freeze in a freezer safe dish for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator or heat (cover with foil) in a 350°F (176°C) oven until warmed through.
