Ingredients

For the Apples:

  • 2 pounds apples
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1/3 cup golden monk fruit or brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup golden monk fruit or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  • Peel the apples. Then, cut them into small, even-sized pieces. After that, place the chopped apples in a large bowl.
  • Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, salt, sweetener, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cornstarch to the bowl with the apples. Then, thoroughly mix to ensure the apples are evenly coated.
  • Lightly spray a 9x12 baking dish with oil so the apples don’t stick. Pour the coated apples into the baking dish.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, flour, sweetener, cinnamon, and salt. Then, add the applesauce and melted butter to the bowl and mix the topping.
  • Evenly distribute the oat topping over the apple mixture in the baking dish.
  • Bake this apple crisp at 350°F for 45-55 minutes or until the apples are cooked through and the topping is golden brown and crispy. Once done, let it slightly cool and enjoy!

Notes

  • Gluten-Free Option: You can make this apple crisp gluten-free by substituting the all-purpose flour in the topping for oat flour! Just make sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
  • Sweetener Options: You can use your sweetener of choice in this recipe. Some options are brown sugar, regular sugar, coconut sugar, maple syrup, or a sugar-free sweetener such as brown monk fruit.
  • Chopped Nuts: Mix chopped pecans or walnuts into the oat topping for added flavor and crunch!
