This apple crisp has all of the same great flavors and textures of the traditional version but is lower in sugar and has a bit more fiber.

Ingredients

Scale

Apple Layer:

  • 5 large honeycrisp apples, peeled and sliced (cores removed)
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Oat Topping:

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup ground flax
  • 1/4 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a square baking dish with butter. 
  2. To a large bowl, add ingredients for the apples and toss until completely coated. Transfer to the greased baking dish. 
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together the ingredients for the oat topping. It’s easiest to use your hands for this step to really work the butter into the dry ingredients. 
  4. Spread the crumble mixture evenly over the top of the apples. Bake for 45 minutes or until bubbly and browned on the top. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • The equipment section above includes affiliate links to things I use often in my kitchen and recommend.
  • FAQ: Do you need to refrigerate apple crisp? I choose to store this in the refrigerator and warm it up just before serving. You can likely get away with storing at room temperature for a day or so, similar to fruit pies. 
  • Keep this vegan by subbing coconut oil for the butter
