    Vegan Apple Crisp

    Jump to Recipe Pin

    This easy Vegan Apple Crisp is a great alternative to apple pie for the holidays! It is sweet, rich, and comforting.

    If you want an easy dessert for Thanksgiving, this Vegan Apple Crisp recipe is the way to go. It's so much easier than apple pie, but with similar flavors. I'm not a baker, so an apple crisp is the perfect baked dessert for me.

    Thanksgiving can be a bit overwhelming, so to give yourself a break, make this Vegan Apple Crisp. No one will miss the pie. I promise.

    If you aren't an apple fan, or want to switch things up, you could use pears instead. During Summer months make it with peaches or cherries.

    It tastes great with a couple of scoops of vegan vanilla ice cream or salted caramel vegan ice cream, which is how I enjoyed mine.

    🧾 Ingredients

    This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    • Granny Smith apples: I like Granny Smith apple for their tart flavor. You could also use Golden Delicious apples, Gala, Honeycrisp, Braeburn, or your favorite.
    • Lemon juice: For some acidity. It balances out the sweetness of the other flavors.
    • Maple syrup: For a sweet rich maple flavor.
    • Gluten-free rolled oats: To add a crunchy crumbly topping. You could also use more nuts and flour.
    • Super-fine almond flour: For a nutty flavor. You could also use oat flour or grind your own rolled oats to make flour.
    • Chopped pecans: For a nutty flavor. You could also use walnuts.
    • Coconut oil: To grease the baking dish and for the filling. You could also use vegan butter.
    • Cinnamon and nutmeg: To add a warm spice flavor.
    • Salt: To bring out the sweetness of the other flavors.
