Warm, sweet, cozy, this Vegan Apple Crisp is perfect for the cool autumn weather and the Fall season vibe! It's gluten-free, dairy-free, and super delicious!
Place a 6" cast iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the apple cubes and a dash of water. Let it cook for about 3-5 minutes until the apples are soft. Stir occasionally.
Turn off the heat. Add the lemon juice and maple syrup. Stir to combine. Set it aside while we prepare the topping.
To make the Toppings:
In a mixing bowl, add the oats, oat flour, walnuts, and salt. Give them a mix.
Add the maple syrup and coconut oil. Mix evenly. Then add pecans.
Assemble:
If you're using a cast-iron skillet, just transfer the put the topping mixture on top of the stewed apples and gently spread out evenly. If you're using a regular pan, transfer the stewed apples to an oven-safe dish, then put the topping mixture on top.
Bake at 175 C / 350 F for about 30 minutes until the topping is golden brown.
To make the Light Caramel Sauce:
While the apple crisp is in the oven, you can make this light caramel sauce. Just add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth, or as smooth as possible.
Serve the apple crisp with caramel sauce or not. Either way, the apple crisp will be delicious!
