Ingredients

Apples

  • 3 tart apples like Granny Smith, McIntosh, or Pink Lady
  • 3 sweet apples like Honey Crisp, Fuji, or Ambrosia
  • ½ cup brown sugar 100 g
  • ¼ cup flour 30 g
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice 15 mL
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Optional: pinch of ground nutmeg, ground cloves, or ground ginger

Crisp

  • 1 cup flour 120 g
  • 1 cup rolled oats aka old fashioned oats
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar 15 g
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup cold unsalted plant-based butter 115 g

Instructions

  • Apples: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel and quarter the apples, removing the tough core and seeds, Chop into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, toss apples together with remaining "Apple" ingredients.
    Chopped green apples, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon create a delicious vegan apple crisp, beautifully arranged in a white dish against a red background.
  • Crisp: In a separate bowl, stir together flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut the butter into cubes, then add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter, 2 forks, or your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse pea-sized crumbs.
    A glass bowl holds flour, oats, brown sugar, and cubed butter against an orange backdrop, ready to transform into a delectable vegan apple crisp.
  • Assemble: Spoon apple mixture into a baking dish and top with oat mixture.
