my mom gave me a bunch of apples when i moved back, and i really needed to put them to good use. what better way to use them than to make my mom her favorite on mother’s day? apple crisp! apple crisp is just about vegan anyway, all that really changes is using vegan butter.
Vegan Apple Crisp
5 medium apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
Topping:
1 1/2 c. unbleached flour
1/2 c. sugar
1 c. brown sugar, packed
1 c. oatmeal
1 stick (1/2 lb.) cold vegan butter, diced
Directions:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 350* F. Grease a 9 by 13 by 2-inch baking dish. Dice butter and put back in the fridge until ready to use.
2. Combine the apples with sugar, and spices, and place evenly in dish.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugars, salt, oatmeal, and cold butter until mixture is crumbly, and butter is broken up into pea size pieces. Alternately, you can place the ingredients in a mixer bowl and use the paddle attachment at low speed until the texture is achieved. Cover the apples evenly with topping.
4. Bake uncovered for 1 hour. Serve with ice cream and enjoy!
