How to make the BEST Vegan Apple Crisp
This vegan apple crisp is one part apple and two parts crumble(the best ratio, in my opinion!) It is easy and quick to make and perfect for the colder months.
Ingredients
Apple Filling
- 6 cups red apples, peeled and thinly sliced into 1/8th inch slices (Any type of red apple works just fine!)
- 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup organic cane sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Crumble Topping
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup raw pecans or walnuts, small chopped (If you're allergic to nuts, you can replace them with equal parts old-fashioned oats.)
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp organic brown sugar, tightly packed
- 1 tbsp + 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp vegan butter, COLD and cut into small cubes, plus more for greasing the baking dish
Instructions
Apple Filling
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter.
- Add all of the ingredients into a medium-sized mixing bowl and gently toss them until everything is evenly combined. Place this mix into the greased dish.
- Make the crumble topping.
Crumble Topping
- Add all ingredients, except the butter, into a large mixing bowl and stir until evenly combined.
- Now add the chunks of butter into the bowl and toss them to coat them in the dry mix evenly. Then, rub all of the ingredients in between the palms of your hands to create a crumble-like texture. Rub this mixture until the butter is completely incorporated into the dry mix.
- Distribute the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
- Place the baking dish on a sheet pan to avoid any spillage, and bake it on the middle oven rack for 30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. *Depending on how hot your oven runs, you may need to turn it down a tad near the end to prevent the crumble topping from burning while still allowing the apples to finish cooking.
- Let the apple crisp cool down for at least 10 minutes to allow the crumble topping to harden. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream on top!
