Oh I just love Autumn! Could there be a better treat this time of year? Especially with the abundance of fresh apples in season.
It’s packed with fresh, juicy apples that are perfectly sweetened and baked until perfectly tender. And don’t even get me started on that crumb topping! It’s crispy and golden brown perfection.
Apple Crisp is a fall favorite recipe that graces our table often. It's simple enough to make that even those that don't bake can make a truly amazing dessert.
Ingredients
Apple Filling:
5 large red apples
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/3 cup water
2 tbsp corn starch
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground clove
a pinch of salt
For the Oat topping:
1 cup oats
3/4 cup whole whole wheat flour
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup melted coconut oil
1/3 cup coconut shreds
1/4 chopped walnuts
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
a pinch of salt
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°. Peel the apples, remove cores and chop them into bite-size chunks.
In a big bowl, mix apples with the rest of the filling ingredients. Mix well until all the apples are evenly coated. Transfer to a 7 x 11 inch baking dish.
Next, in a bowl add all oat topping ingredients. Mix well with the fork until there are no big sugar lumps left. Evenly drizzle the topping over the apples.
Bake for 50 minutes until the apple filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Chill at a room temperature for 20 minutes and serve. It’s very delicious on its own, but try it with vegan ice cream or drizzled with maple syrup like I did below. Yum! It’s best to eat the leftovers warm, so reheat them in the oven when necessary.
I have slowly started to decorate my front porch. But I can’t decide if I throw a little bit of fall decor up or just go all out now with Halloween? How early do you start decorating?
