Vegan Apple Crisp (GF option)
After picking 20 lbs of apples last week, I was excited to get in some baking on this rainy day! I used Jonagold apples for this one and it turned out so well!
This recipe is from Loving it Vegan, You can make this gluten-free as well, like I did, by using GF all-purpose flour and GF rolled oats. You may be able to sub the same amount of cow’s butter or coconut oil for the vegan butter, but I don’t know how it’d turn out because I haven’t tried it. If you try it, let me know!
Vegan, Gluten-free option

Ingredients:
For the Apple filling:

1 tsp Ground cinnamon
½ tsp Ground nutmeg
¼ tsp Sea salt
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Pure vanilla extract

1 cup All-purpose flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free all-purpose baking flour)

1 cup Brown sugar
1 tsp Ground cinnamon
¾ cup Vegan butter, measured then melted

Peel and cube apples and add to a mixing bowl with rest of Filling ingredients.
Transfer the apple mix to baking dish and smooth down.
Prepare the topping. Add the flour, oats, sugar and cinnamon and mix. Then add in melted butter and vanilla and combine. Stir in the pecans, if using.
Use your hands to spread the topping over the apple layer evenly.
Bake in the oven for 50 minutes until the top is golden brown and the apple mix is bubbling up the sides.
