Apple crisp is a beloved dessert that combines tender, baked apples with a crunchy oat topping. This egg-free version is perfect for those with egg allergies or anyone looking for a simple, delicious treat without eggs. It’s easy to prepare and makes a warm, comforting dessert.
Ingredients Needed
- 4 large apples (such as Granny Smith or Fuji), sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Oat Topping
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegan butter or margarine, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine sliced apples with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss until evenly coated. Transfer the apple mixture to a greased baking dish.
To make the oat topping, in a separate bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted vegan butter and stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your warm, egg-free apple crisp with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips and Variations
You can add chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts to the topping for extra crunch. For a touch of tartness, include some dried cranberries or raisins in the apple mixture. This dessert pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
This egg-free apple crisp is a perfect way to enjoy a classic dessert without eggs. It’s simple to make, customizable, and always a hit with family and friends.
