Healthy Apple Crisp
This easy and Healthy Apple Crisp is made up of tender apples and a golden oat crumble topping. A lighter take on the traditional apple crisp with real, simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 5 fresh apples see notes
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- ¾ cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup whole wheat flour sub all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
- ½ cup vegan butter room temperature
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- pinch kosher salt
Serving Suggestions:
- vanilla ice cream regular or dairy-free
- whipped cream regular or dairy-free
Instructions
- Oven: Preheat oven to 375℉.
- Apples: Peel 5 fresh apples, cut into ¼ inch thick slices (removing the core). Spray a 9x9 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and place the sliced apples inside. Add ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon and toss to coat. Set aside.
- Crisp Topping: In a food processor or mixing bowl, add 1 cup old fashioned oats, ¾ cup coconut sugar, ½ cup whole wheat flour, ½ cup vegan butter (softened), 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch kosher salt. 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 the apples evenly.
- Bake: Place in preheated oven on the middle rack for 30-35 minutes. Remove and let cool at room temperature.
- Serve: Enjoy with vanilla ice cream or 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 5 large apples, but feel free to use up to 3-4 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 25-30 minutes and if you prefer a very soft apple in your apple crisp then we would do 35+ minutes!
