Description

This Healthy Apple Crisp is a delicious apple crisp recipe that is gluten-free, dairy-free and made with real, simple ingredients!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large fresh apples (see notes)
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free flour (sub with all-purpose flour)
  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • pinch of kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter, room temp

Instructions

  1. Oven: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Apples: Peel apples, cut into 1/4 inch thick slices (removing core). Spray a 9×9 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and layer apples inside.
  3. Crisp Topping: Add oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, kosher salt, and butter to small food processor or medium-sized mixing bowl. Pulse until ingredients are mixed together well (if using a food processor) or use a fork to mix together (if using a mixing bowl). The texture should be clumpy. Pour mixture over apples evenly.
  4. Bake: Place in preheated oven on the middle rack for 30-35 minutes. Remove and let cool at room temperature.
  5. Serve: with dairy-free ice cream or dairy-free whipped cream.

Notes

  • Apples: we used honey crisp apples, but sometimes apple crisp tastes ever better if you use 3-4 different types of apples, so you have a mix of flavors. You would still use a total of 4 large apples, but feel free to use up to 4 different kinds, if you want!
  • Peeling Apples: If you don’t like peeling apples (who does?) then we recommend using this apple peeling attachment for a Kitchen Aid stand mixer!  So nice to have!
  • Baking Length: Recommended cook time is 30-35 minutes. If you prefer more crisp apples in your apple crisp we would do 25 minutes or so – if you prefer a very soft apple in your apple crisp then we would do 35+ minutes!
