Ingredients
Scale
Apple Filling
- 4 cups sliced apples
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (adjusted from total brown sugar for filling)
Topping
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the apple crisp.
- Prepare the apple mixture: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a portion of the brown sugar. Toss well until the apples are evenly coated with the spices and sugar, which will enhance the natural sweetness and flavor.
- Make the topping: In another bowl, thoroughly mix the all-purpose flour, remaining brown sugar, melted coconut oil, and salt. This mixture will create the crisp, golden topping without the use of oats.
- Assemble the crisp: Spread the spiced apple mixture evenly in a baking dish to form the base layer.
- Add the topping: Sprinkle the flour and coconut oil mixture evenly over the apples, ensuring full coverage for a balanced crunch and flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping turns a beautiful golden brown.
Notes
- Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor.
- You can adjust the amount of brown sugar based on your preference for sweetness.
- Ensure the coconut oil is fully melted but not hot when mixing with flour to maintain the right crumbly texture.
- Let the apple crisp cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken slightly.
- This recipe is naturally vegan and can be served with vegan ice cream or whipped coconut cream for extra indulgence.
