  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon divided
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter substitute with melted coconut oil for vegan option
  • 1 cup rolled oats

Notes

  • Apple crisp may be assembled in advance and stored in the fridge until 30-45 minutes before baking time bring to room temperature prior to baking for more even baking
  • Leftovers may be stored in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days Note that the crumble topping will become soggy after refrigeration
  • The granulated and brown sugars may be substituted with an equal amount of coconut sugar if you’d like to make this crisp refined sugar free
  • Make this a gluten free apple crisp by substituting the flour with Gluten Free 1 to 1 flour or almond flour
  • The butter may be substituted with the same amount of coconut oil for a dairy free vegan alternative
  • Change it up and add chopped walnuts or pecans in the crisp topping or use my Homemade Chai Spice instead of cinnamon!
