Vegan Apple Crisp Ingredients

Apples: any type will do, but we like pink or red varieties.
Lemon juice: to help keep the apples from turning brown
Sugar: cane sugar or white sugar
Brown sugar
Cinnamon
Salt
Corn starch: to thicken the apple crisp filling
Whole wheat flour: to make the crisp topping
Coconut oil
Vegan butter: earth balance is our favorite brand
Vegan ice cream, for topping: of course this is optional. But a scoop of creamy cold ice cream on top of warm apple crisp is simply the best!

How to make vegan apple crisp

Step 1: Dice the apples into chunks and place them into a large mixing bowl. You will need around 5-6 medium sized apples, or about 6 1/2 cups worth of diced apples.

Step 2: Add the remaining filling ingredients to the same bowl as the apples: lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and corn starch. Give it a good stir and let it sit while you work on the crisp topping.

Step 3: While the apple filling marinates, prepare the crisp topping. Melt the butter and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl.

Stir together the melted butter and coconut oil with the remaining crisp topping ingredients: brown sugar, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, and salt. The mixture should resemble wet sand.

Step 4: Stir the apple crisp filling again, then pour into a greased baking dish. Any medium sized baking dish or pie plate will work well for this recipe. Distribute the apple crisp topping over the tops of the apples evenly.

Step 5: Bake the vegan apple crisp at 350 degrees for around an hour, until the apples are bubbly on the edges and the crisp topping has started to brown and crisp up.

Step 6: Allow the apple crisp to cool and rest for around 15 – 20 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
