Juicy, caramelized apples mingle with a golden oat topping, and topped with melty vanilla ice cream, it’s truly sensational. In fact, we like this one better than our standard apple crisp recipe!
Vegan butter: Vegan butter works well as a substitute for butter, and there are many great brands that are easy to find in US grocery stores (we like Miyokos). If desired, you can substitute coconut oil; we recommend using refined coconut oil which has a more subtle coconut flavor than unrefined. All purpose flour: All purpose flour is our standard, but for gluten-free you can also use almond flour with great results. Go to Gluten-Free Apple Crisp. Old Fashioned rolled oats: Use whole rolled oats for the best crisp texture; avoid instant oats here. Brown sugar and granulated sugar: Using a mix of sugar types adds nuance to the flavor. Cinnamon, ginger and allspice: This mix of cozy spices brings in a warm, comforting flavor. Cornstarch: Cornstarch helps to thicken the filling. As a substitute, try arrowroot powder. Lemon juice and zest: Citrus accentuates the fruit flavors, like salt does for savory foods. Don’t omit the lemon if you can: it really adds to the flavor here! Vanilla extract: Vanilla extract adds the final nuance in sweet flavor. Sweet tart, crisp cooking apples: Tart apples are key; keep reading for our favorite apple types.
Avoid varieties like Gala, Fuji or Red Delicious: they don’t perform well in crisps and crumbles. Here are a few of the varieties that shine in this vegan apple crisp recipe:
Pink Lady Honeycrisp Golden Delicious Granny Smith Jonathon or Jonagold Ida Red

Keep it loosely covered at room temperature for 1 to 2 days. Keeping it loosely covered helps to maintain the crumble texture. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. It holds up well in the fridge, and tastes even better when reheated. Freeze up to 3 months. Freeze for up to 3 months in a sealed container. Reheat it in a 350°F oven until bubbly.
