This is hands down the more incredible apple crisp you will ever have. It’s perfect Fall comfort food, old fashioned and such a crowd pleasing dessert! It has all the flavors of apple pie but is so much easier to make. It took me a long time to discover the secrets to the best apple crisp, and I will share all the details with you! This recipe has been tested many times to reach perfection, and I hope you love it as much as I do.
Ingredients you need
Apples – Use Granny Smith for best results! Other crisp apples may work. Vegan butter – I used Earth Balance brand, but another brand or coconut oil would work. Flour – I haven’t tested it with gluten free flour, but a mix might work. Lemon juice Brown sugar – Adds sweetness and moisture, regular sugar won’t work as well here. Cinnamon Salt Oats Baking powder
How to make Vegan Apple Crisp
Toppings
For the most amazing apple crisp, serve warm with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream (I love cashew or coconut milk based ice creams) and a drizzle of my Easy Vegan Caramel! The caramel takes this to the next level.
Tips for the best crisp
Use Granny Smith Apples – I have tried others but this is my favorite. They are crisp and not too sweet, the best apple for crisp! Honey crisp are pretty good as well, but I would reduce the sugar a bit because they are sweeter apples. Make sure to slice your apples thinly and small, so they get very tender in the oven. If not you will have crispy, uncooked apple chunks, which is not what you want. Serve warm for the best taste and crispy topping. Leftovers will still be good the next day, but the topping wont stay as crispy. Drizzle apple crisp with caramel sauce! I just tried it for the first time, and I don’t think I can ever go back!
