Ingredients
  

Apple Filling
  • 5-7 apples peeled and roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup apple cider or apple juice. Make sure the apple cider is non-alcoholic
  • ¼ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar as desired
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Crisp Topping
  • 1 cup oats gluten free if needed
  • ⅓ cup all purpose flour gluten free if needed
  • ¼ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar as desired
  • ¼ cup dairy free butter melted
  • ¼ cup seeds or nuts optional

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Mixing spoons
  • measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Cutting board
  • Chef’s knife
  • baking dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C with the oven rack in the center of the oven. Have an 8x10-inch (20x25-cm) baking dish for baking.
  2. Make the filling. In a large mixing bowl, place the peeled and chopped apples with the apple cider. The apple cider will prevent the apples from browning as you make the crisp. Stir in the sugar, flour, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Transfer the apples to the baking dish.
  3. Make the crisp topping. In the same bowl, add the oats, flour, sugar, melted dairy free butter, and any additional nuts or seeds, if desired. Mix this together. Sprinkle over top the apples in the baking dish.
  4. Bake. Bake the apple crisp uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crisp on top is browned. Remove from the oven and let rest a good 10 to 15 minutes to allow it to cool. Scoop, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

How to Store + Make Ahead
  • Fridge: To store leftovers, let it cool completely before covering and storing in the fridge for up to 5 days. 
  • To Make Ahead: You can make and assemble the crisp without baking it for up to 1 day in advance. Then, on the day of baking, bake as directed. The crisp might need an extra few minutes in the oven if starting from cold.
