Ingredients

Scale

Apple Filling

  • 6 cups crisp apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (natural)

Cinnamon Oat Topping

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for variation)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/3 cup plant-based butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apple Filling: Peel, core, and slice the apples evenly. In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with cinnamon (natural), lemon juice (natural), natural gelling agent, and brown sugar (natural) until well combined. This mixture enhances the juiciness of the apples and balances tart and sweet flavors.
  2. Make the Cinnamon Oat Topping: In another bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar (natural), and cinnamon (natural). Cut in the cold plant-based butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. This topping bakes into a golden, crunchy layer.
  3. Assemble the Apple Crisp: Spread the apple filling evenly in a baking dish. Generously sprinkle the oat topping over the fruit, ensuring full coverage to achieve a crisp, cinnamon-spiced crust on every bite.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the assembled dish for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling. The warm aroma signals the dessert is ready.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the apple crisp rest for a few minutes to allow the filling to thicken. Serve warm, optionally topped with plant-based vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of natural caramel sauce.

Notes

  • Use firm, tart apples to maintain texture during baking.
  • Slice apples uniformly for even cooking.
  • Keep plant-based butter cold to create a crispier topping.
  • Monitor baking time closely to prevent burning the topping.
  • Allow the crisp to cool slightly for the filling to thicken before serving.
