Whether you recently went apple picking, are lucky enough to have an apple tree in your yard, or picked up a bushel of fragrant honeycrisps at your local market, an apple crisp is the best thing to do with the current abundance of the quintessential seasonal fall fruit.

This recipe is very forgiving, and although I’ve found that honeycrisp and Fuji tend to hold up best, any apples will do.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 6

EQUIPMENT

• 6 four-ounce ramekins
• Large mixing bowl
• Medium mixing bowl
• Baking Sheet

INGREDIENTS

• 4 small apples, chopped (I leave the skins on, but you can peel them if you’d like)
• 2 tbsp coconut flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
  

FOR THE TOPPING

• ½ cup coconut oil, melted
• ¼ cup agave nectar or maple syrup
• 1 ½ cups gluten-free rolled oats
• ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp salt

OPTIONAL GARNISH:

• Vegan vanilla bean ice cream or whipped topping

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Lightly grease ramekins with coconut oil.
3. Place apples, coconut flour and 1 tsp cinnamon into a large mixing bowl and stir until apples are coated.
4. In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine liquid coconut oil, agave nectar, gluten-free rolled oats, gluten-free flour, 1 tsp cinnamon and salt. Stir until a sticky mixture forms.
5. Spoon about ¼ cup of the apple mixture into each ramekin.
6. Top with oat mixture.
7. Place ramekins onto a rimmed baking sheet, then place in oven and bake for 25 minutes or until tops are brown and apples are bubbling.
8. Remove from oven and allow to cool until you can handle the ramekins.
9. Top with vegan, soy-free vanilla bean ice cream or vegan whipped cream and serve warm
