Do you ever feel like your internal calendar is ridiculously far behind (and simultaneously far ahead of) everyone else’s? Everyone else = the actual calendar on your desk.

Apparently, it’s just a few days until the first official day of Autumn! And I sooooo don’t know how to process this. Like, whaaaaa? How is it Autumn already? Concurrently, I’m also thinking: Wasn’t it autumn like 3 months ago?

Ah, the life of a madwoman. Erm, a food blogger! Truth be told, I developed and shot this recipe in the thick of summer—and I do mean THICK. The weather was hot, muggy, thick with sweat (ew) and, well, not with a lot of fall stuff lying around. Save for this gluten free vegan pumpkin bread that Erik had to have, immediately. Or else. ..

So, in my mind, fall was ages ago. But also, hasn’t happened yet. Oh me…

Meanwhile, to add more confusion to the mix, Erik and I always joke about the fact that we think fall starts in August (blame back-to-school, aggressively early candy displays that insist that it’s Halloween in JULY, etc., I could go on and on), but it actually starts way later.

So to soothe our minds and calm our… everything… I decided to greet fall the best way I know how: with FOOD. Duh!! I mean, I can’t even tell you how these vegan gluten free chocolate cupcakes saved me the other day… I mean, I could, but I’m too dazed to do so. .

Anywho… welcome to my Vegan Gluten Free Cinnamon Apple Crisp with Oats. It’s warm, cozy, totally time-appropriate (I promise), and seriously so good.

My favorite part? The sweet oat & nut topping—wait, no, the gooey cinnamon filling—wait, actually, the delightful whole ingredients—wait, oh never mind!

Description

Vegan Gluten Free Cinnamon Apple Crisp with Oats (V, GF): an easy recipe for a warm, gooey apple crisp with delicious cinnamon oat topping. Made with healthy ingredients. Gluten-Free, Vegan, Dairy-Free, Healthy, Fall Desserts.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Filling

  • 3 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced* (4 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon blanched almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons water (optional)

Topping

  • 3/4 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1/2 cup gluten free rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • To make this paleo, make the topping in this recipe.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with coconut oil. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, add all Filling ingredients: apples, coconut sugar, maple syrup, almond flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla extract. Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold until apples are fully coated and sugar has dissolved. If the mixture isn’t very wet, add in water—there should be 1-2 tablespoons of liquid at the bottom of the mixing bowl. I used 1 ½ tablespoons water in mine.
  3. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use the spatula to smooth apples into an even layer.
  4. Add all Topping ingredients to a medium bowl. Using a fork, stir and fold until crumbles form. Gently spoon evenly over apples, making sure to keep crumbles intact.
  5. Bake for 40-60 minutes. Mine took 45 minutes. It’s done when the top is a deep golden brown and the juice around the filling has thickened. To test, use a spoon to carefully lift up a corner of the crisp to see the juices. If it’s still too watery, bake for another 5 minutes.
  6. Allow to cool for 10-15 mins. Serve warm with a scoop with dairy-free ice cream on top. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.Adapted from my Paleo Apple Crisp and my Easy Healthy Apple Crisp Recipe (V, GF).

Equipment

Notes

*I like to use a mix of apples: Braeburn, Fuji, Granny Smith, etc.

Storage notes: Best on the first day. Cover with foil, or transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat before serving.

  1. I LOVE this apple crisp. I made it since , well, I’m stuck at home looking for things to do. I’m dairy and gluten free so having a delicious desert is a treat. My only complaint is that it says it serves 12 people. I ate 1/2 of it myself after it came out of the oven . So either your estimate is way off or I just admitted that Im over eating during this pandemic. And btw, its fabulous with dairy free mocha chip ice cream. Thank you for all your delicious recipes.

    1. YES!!! 🙂 Isn’t baking one of the best things to do to past the time? LOL on your complaint. One will never know… 😉 Btw, my sister Jenny agreed with you that this entire recipe is suitable for 2 servings. Heehee! I’ve got to try that mocha chip ice cream. Yum!!

  2. Hi Demeter,
    So excited to try this recipe, I love your blog. I have a few questions. Can I replace the almond flour with oat flour, can I replace the pecans with walnuts and omit the coconut sugar. Thanks 🙂

    1. Hi Amelia, thank you so much for your kind words. 🙂 1) I’m not sure, since I haven’t tried it. Try: subbing the almond flour with 1-2 teaspoons oat flour in the Filling. Yep, TEAspoons. In the Topping, try subbing with 2 tablespoons of oat flour. It needs to be a smaller amount since it’s drier. 2) Walnuts are fine. Try subbing the coconut sugar with more maple syrup. Good luck!

      1. Love this apple crisp, I didn’t have coconut sugar on hand so I used date sugar instead. It was delicious, will be doing it again. Thanks for sharing your recipe.



    1. Hi Robin! Thank you! I definitely would not recommend it. . Coconut flour is extremely absorbent, much more so than almond flour, so I’m not sure what the results will be.
