Recipe Ingredients

Ingredients for making apple crisp.

Oats: I love using rolled oats for the hearty, chewy texture. If you don’t have rolled oats, use instant instead.

Flour: All-purpose is what I used here. Whole wheat flour is an easy substitute. You can even use any gluten-free flour.

Apples: Firm Apples are great for baking as they hold their shape and don't turn mushy after cooking. Use Golden Delicious, Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith or Red Delicious. You can even mix different varieties.

Lemon juice: For a wonderful zesty citrus flavor that can't be missed.

Oil: Coconut oil is my preferred choice for baking. Melted butter will work like a charm though.

Sugar: Use any kind you like - white granulated, brown, or raw sugar.

How To Make

Step 1: I start with the filling of this crisp apple recipe by peeling and chopping the fruit.

Step 2: Mix them well with sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon powder, put them in the baking dish, and set aside.

Step 3: Next, I make the crumble topping by whisking brown sugar, cinnamon powder, rolled oats, and all-purpose flour.

Step 4: Add melted coconut oil to the topping and combine well using a fork till it has a wet, sandy consistency.

Step 5: Evenly spread the crumble topping over the apple filling with your hands and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the apple juices are bubbling.

Final step: Let the vegan apple crisp sit for 5 minutes so the juices settle, and then serve warm.

Pro Tips

  • Cut the apples into even-sized big chunks for better texture.
  • Use firm apples that won't turn into a mush after baking.
  • You can make this recipe for vegan apple crisp ahead of time. Keep everything ready, and just before your guests sit down for dinner, slide the dish into the oven. By the time people are ready to keep the fork down, you’ll have a hot, bubbling dessert ready to be served.

How To Serve

The vegan apple crisp is delectable served as-is, but a scoop of vanilla ice cream is always, always welcome. So that’s the route I took, with a handful of toasted almond flakes sprinkled on top for crunch.

You can also serve it with -

  • Dollop of sweetened yogurt
  • Warm custard on the side
  • Whipped cream

Recipe FAQs

What's the difference between crumble and crisp?

The ingredients you use to make the topping define if it's a crisp or a cobbler. Cobblers have a thicker biscuit topping, made with butter, flour, and sugar. Like my apple and plum cobbler. While crisps have oats and nuts in their streusel topping along with butter, flour, and sugar

Do I need to peel the apples?

I prefer to peel apples for this recipe, even though it's one extra step. But if you don't mind apple peels in your bakes, go ahead and use them without peeling, like I did for my apple puff pastry tart.

How long is apple crisp good for?

Crisps are best eaten the day they are made. Any leftovers will stay well for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
