Name: Apple Crisp (Vegan, Gluten-Free)
Ingredients: 2 cups finely chopped almonds or pecans; 2 cups large-flake rolled oats or quinoa flakes; ½ cup packed coconut sugar or brown sugar; 2 tablespoons chickpea or rice flour; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; ½ teaspoon salt; ½ cup softened extra-virgin coconut oil or butter; 3 tablespoons packed coconut sugar or brown sugar; 2 tablespoons chickpea or rice flour; 6 to 8 apples, cut into thin wedges; 3 tablespoons extra-virgin coconut oil or butter, cut into pieces

Description

Of course, you can eliminate the sugar by substituting liquid honey, brown rice syrup, coconut nectar, or pure maple syrup. They all have a distinctly different flavor, so each time you make this, try a different sugar alternative and get to know how each tastes in desserts.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F and lightly oil a 3-quart baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine almonds, oats, sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Using a pastry blender or your hands, work the coconut oil into the flour mixture until the pieces are about the size of peas.
In a large bowl, combine sugar and flour. Core, peel and slice the apples into the sugar mixture and toss to mix well. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and drop oil pieces over.
Crumble the crisp topping evenly over the fruit. Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the fruit is soft and the topping is bubbly and lightly browned.
