Ingredients

Scale

Apple Filling

  • 6 cups firm, tart apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tbsp natural gelling agent

Crisp Topping

  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, cold and cut into pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples into even pieces for uniform cooking. In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced apples with brown sugar (natural), cinnamon (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and the natural gelling agent. This creates a flavorful filling that will thicken nicely as it bakes.
  2. Make the crisp topping: In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar (natural), and cinnamon (natural). Cut the cold plant-based butter into the mixture using your fingertips or a pastry cutter until the texture resembles coarse crumbs. This will give you a golden, crumbly topping after baking.
  3. Assemble the crisp: Spread the prepared apple filling evenly in a baking dish. Sprinkle the oat topping generously over the apples, ensuring full coverage to trap moisture and create a crunchy layer.
  4. Bake the Apple Crisp: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the assembled crisp in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling. Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.

Notes

  • Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for a richer flavor profile.
  • Do not overmix the topping; keep it coarse to maintain maximum crunch.
  • Let the baked apple crisp rest for 10 minutes before serving to thicken the juices.
  • For extra flavor, toast the oats lightly before mixing with other topping ingredients.
  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar (natural) to your preferred sweetness.
