Vegan Apple Crisp
We’ve made apple crisps before, but this one is vegan friendly thanks to classic vegan staples like vegan butter that make this dessert come to life. A simple filling of apples, spices, and a little sweetness from maple syrup is topped with a buttery, flaky, oat streusel that is the ultimate cherry on top. Top this Vegan Apple Crisp with your favorite vegan ice cream or our vegan coconut whipped cream for an incredibly indulgent finish.

You can make this recipe ahead of time and either enjoy at room temperature or pop in the microwave for a few seconds to warm it back up. It’s a delicious dessert to enjoy after dinner, and have your leftovers with your morning coffee.
Vegan Apple Crisp Recipe Tips:
+ It’s essential to keep your butter cold in order to get the proper streusel texture. We recommend sticking it in the freezer for a few minutes after you cube to keep it nice and cold.
+ You can substitute other fruits in this easy vegan crisp recipe. Strawberries, blueberries, pears, and peaches are all delicious in this recipe as well.
