Ingredients for Vegan Apple Crisp
For the apple filling
For the topping
- Apples: Granny Smith are my go-to, but Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, or Fuji work too. They stay firm and don't get mushy when baked.
- Brown sugar: You can use granulated, coconut, or cane sugar. Just make sure it's vegan-friendly.
- All-purpose flour: I've only tried this recipe with all-purpose flour, but a gluten-free blend should also work.
- Vanilla extract
- Ground cinnamon
- Salt
- Rolled oats: Rolled oats are best, though quick oats work fine. Use certified gluten-free oats if needed.
- Vegan Butter: I used vegan butter, but coconut oil is a good alternative.
