Gather Your Ingredients for This Delicious Gluten-Free Vegan Apple Crisp Recipe
Alright, let’s get our ingredients together! Nothing too crazy here, I promise. You’ll want 6 medium apples (peeled and sliced, trust me, it makes a difference!), 1 cup of gluten-free rolled oats, 1/2 cup of almond flour, 1/4 cup of coconut sugar (it gives it a yummy caramel-y thing!), 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil (smells amazing!), 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, and a 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Got it? Good! Let’s move on!
Step-by-Step Instructions for the Best Delicious Gluten-Free Vegan Apple Crisp Recipe
Okay, friend, let’s get baking! Don’t worry, it’s super simple. Just follow these steps, and you’ll have the most amazing gluten-free vegan apple crisp you’ve ever tasted!
Preparing the Apple Filling
First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is important! While it’s heating up, grab a big bowl and toss in those sliced apples. Now, sprinkle them with the cinnamon and nutmeg. Mmm, smells good already, right? Make sure the apples are nicely coated. This is where the magic starts!
Making the Gluten-Free Vegan Crisp Topping
In a separate bowl (don’t want apple-y oats!), mix together the gluten-free rolled oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, and chopped walnuts. Then, pour in that melted coconut oil and add the salt. Mix it all up until it’s crumbly. It should look like coarse sand. If it seems too dry, add a *tiny* bit more coconut oil, like a teaspoon at a time. Careful, it can get oily fast!
Baking Your Delicious Gluten-Free Vegan Apple Crisp Recipe
Now, pour the apple mixture into a baking dish. An 8×8 inch dish works great, but anything similar will do! Then, sprinkle that oat mixture evenly over the top of the apples. Don’t be shy! You want every bite to have that yummy crisp topping. Pop it in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. The topping should look nice and toasty. Let it cool slightly before serving…if you can wait that long! Trust me, it’s worth it!
Essential Tips for a Perfect Delicious Gluten-Free Vegan Apple Crisp Recipe
Want to take your apple crisp to the *next level*? I’ve got you covered! First off, apple choice matters! I love using a mix of Granny Smith (for tartness) and Honeycrisp (for sweetness). But honestly, use whatever apples you have on hand! Also, feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking. If you like things extra sweet, add another tablespoon or two of coconut sugar to the topping. My favorite part is a little squeeze of lemon juice over the apples before topping. Wow! Does that brighten the flavors!
And hey, don’t worry if the topping looks a little uneven before baking. It all evens out in the oven! Just make sure the apples are mostly covered. Lastly, keep an eye on it while it’s baking. Ovens can be tricky, and you don’t want a burnt topping! If it starts to get too dark, just tent some foil over the top for the last few minutes. Easy peasy!
Ingredient Notes and Substitutions for Your Delicious Gluten-Free Vegan Apple Crisp Recipe
Okay, so let’s talk ingredients! Wanna switch things up? No problem! For the gluten-free flour, almond flour is my go-to, but you could also use a gluten-free oat flour blend. Just make sure it’s a 1:1 replacement. And if you’re not a walnut fan (gasp!), pecans or even sunflower seeds work great in the topping. Adds a nice crunch!
Coconut sugar gives it that caramel vibe, but brown sugar works just as well. Regular white sugar? Eh, I wouldn’t. It’s just not the same. Finally, if you *really* don’t like coconut oil, you could try melted vegan butter, but the coconut oil adds a little somethin’ somethin’, ya know? Just sayin’!
Frequently Asked Questions About This Delicious Gluten-Free Vegan Apple Crisp Recipe
Got questions? I’ve got answers! Here are a few of the most common things people ask about this amazing gluten-free vegan apple crisp recipe.
Can I use different fruits in this crisp?
Absolutely! While this is an *apple* crisp, you can totally get creative. Pears work beautifully, or a mix of apples and berries is delicious! Stone fruits like peaches or plums would also be amazing, especially in the summer. Just make sure you slice any larger fruits to about the same size as the apples, so they cook evenly. So, experiment!
How do I store leftovers of this crisp?
Leftovers? If you have any, that is! Store any remaining apple crisp in the fridge, covered, for up to 3 days. Honestly, it’s still pretty darn good cold, straight from the fridge! But if you want to warm it up, a few seconds in the microwave does the trick. Or, you can reheat it in a low oven (around 300°F or 150°C) for about 10-15 minutes. Watch it carefully, so the topping doesn’t burn!
Can I make this crisp ahead of time?
Yep! You can assemble the apple filling and the topping separately ahead of time. Store them in the fridge, covered, for up to 24 hours. Then, when you’re ready to bake, just assemble the crisp and pop it in the oven! I don’t recommend baking it completely ahead of time, as the topping can get a little soggy. But prepping the components? Totally fine!
Serving Suggestions for Your Delicious Gluten-Free Vegan Apple Crisp Recipe
Okay, you’ve got this amazing apple crisp…now what? Well, it’s pretty delicious on its own, but a little something extra never hurts, right? My absolute favorite is a scoop of good quality vegan vanilla ice cream. Oh my gosh, the warm crisp with the cold ice cream? Heaven! Vegan whipped cream is also amazing. Or, if you’re feeling fancy, a drizzle of caramel sauce. Yum!
