What you will need
This recipe uses 8 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 6 cups peeled and sliced apples
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cup coconut sugar
- 0.33 cup coconut oil melted
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep Apples
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Toss sliced apples with maple syrup, cinnamon, and lemon juice in a 9x13 baking dish until evenly coated.
Step 2: Make Oat Topping
In a bowl, mix rolled oats, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, and cinnamon together until the mixture resembles wet sand and clumps slightly.
Step 3: Assemble and Bake
Spread the oat topping evenly over the apple layer in the baking dish. Bake for 40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling around the edges.
Step 4: Cool and Serve
Allow the crisp to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream.

- Not spreading the topping evenly causing uneven browning
