Ingredients

Scale

Apple Filling

  • 5 Large Honeycrisp Apples
  • 2 Tablespoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 3 Tablespoons Flour (Gluten-Free or Regular)
  • 1/2 Cup Pure Maple Syrup

Oat Crisp Topping

  • 2 Cups Whole Oats
  • 1 Cup Flour (Gluten-Free or Regular)
  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1/4 Cup Coconut Oil (melted)
  • 1/3 Cup Maple Syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the apple crisp.
  2. Prepare the Apple Filling: Peel and chop the Honeycrisp apples into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, toss the chopped apples with the flour, ground cinnamon, and pure maple syrup until all pieces are evenly coated. Set this mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Make the Oat Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the whole oats, flour, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Add the melted coconut oil and maple syrup to the dry ingredients, stirring well until the mixture becomes crumbly and all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
  4. Assemble the Crisp: Transfer the apple filling mixture into a 9×5 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the oat crisp topping evenly over the apple layer to cover it completely.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender but not mushy.
  6. Cool and Serve: After baking, remove the crisp from the oven and allow it to cool for 20 to 30 minutes. This cooling helps the juices settle and makes slicing easier. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Honeycrisp for the best texture and natural sweetness.
  • For a nuttier topping, consider adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the oat mixture.
  • This recipe can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free oats and flour.
  • Coconut oil can be substituted with vegan butter or another neutral oil if preferred.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
  • For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg to the apple filling.
  • Serve with dairy-free vanilla ice cream or coconut whipped cream for a delightful vegan dessert.
