Ingredients

Crisp topping

¾ cup (72 g) oat flour certified gluten-free
¾ cup (60 g) oats rolled or old-fashioned, certified gluten-free
½ cup (110 g) vegan butter diced
½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar
½ cup (50 g) sliced almonds

Apple filling

6 medium apples about 600g / 5 cups chopped
2 tbsp (25 g) light brown sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

Make crisp topping in a large mixing bowl. Add the oat flour, oats, diced vegan butter, sugar and sliced almonds. Using a pastry cutter, a fork, or your hands, combine until you have a rough mixture with no loose flour. It's ok to have some small chunks of butter in the crisp mixture.
¾ cup (72 g) oat flour, ¾ cup (60 g) oats, ½ cup (110 g) vegan butter, ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, ½ cup (50 g) sliced almonds
Prepare apples. Peel if desired, then core and chop them. Dice the apples for a more chunky and bite-sized texture or slice thinly for a softer texture.
6 medium apples
Make apple filling in a bowl, or directly in your baking dish, by combining chopped apples, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
2 tbsp (25 g) light brown sugar, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp cinnamon
Assemble in a deep 8 x 8 inch (20cm) baking dish. Spread the chopped apples over the base and then evenly scatter the crisp topping over them.
Bake at 350℉ / 180℃ for 40-50 minutes, until the top is crisp and golden and the apple mixture is bubbling.
Serve warm and enjoy, with or without a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream!

Notes

Apples

Are you wondering what types of apples are best for apple crisp? A crisp, tart variety that holds up well when baked, such as Granny Smith apples, Honeycrisp apples, or Braeburn apples is ideal, but you can really use any type of apples! We personally love to use a mix of varieties when we've been apple picking.

Dish size

We use a deep 8 x 8 inch 2 quart or 2L baking dish for this recipe. A 7 x 11 inch dish will also work. You can also double the recipe (use the adjustable buttons in the recipe card to easily scale the ingredients) and bake it in a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish.
