Ingredients
Scale
Apple Filling
- 4 cups sliced apples
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (part of total sugar used in filling)
Crisp Topping
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking of your apple crisp.
- Prepare Apple Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a portion of the brown sugar, tossing gently to coat the apples evenly with the spices and sugar.
- Make Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, melted coconut oil, remaining brown sugar, and salt until a crumbly mixture forms.
- Assemble Crisp: Spread the spiced apple mixture evenly in a baking dish, then sprinkle the flour and coconut oil mixture evenly over the top to form the crisp topping.
- Bake: Place the assembled dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the apple crisp to cool slightly before serving to let the flavors meld and the topping set.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balance of sweet and tangy flavors.
- This recipe is naturally vegan and does not include oats, making it suitable for those avoiding oats or gluten (if using gluten-free flour).
- Substitute coconut oil with vegan butter if preferred for a different flavor profile.
- For extra texture and flavor, consider adding chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts to the topping mixture.
- Serve warm with vegan vanilla ice cream or coconut whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
