It undoubtedly appears like fall is right here now, and so I needed to make an apple crisp with the apples we purchased on the orchard just lately! Apple crisp is likely one of the important fall recipes so far as I’m involved. After I was little, I keep in mind coming house from faculty many occasions within the fall and my Mother had baked one for us to take pleasure in for dessert after dinner, and I all the time liked it. It is a lot simpler to make than pie, however all the time so comforting and scrumptious! The one I made final weekend was a Vegan Maple Apple Crisp!
My Mother all the time included oats within the topping on her apple crisp. I do know not everybody does, however I really actually love oats within the streusel, they offer it such a pleasant texture! The basic one has butter in it and refined sugar, however I wished to go a bit of more healthy this time. So rather than the butter, I used a few of my handmade pecan butter. This gave it a bit of little bit of a nutty taste too that I actually liked. For the sweetener, and since this was a maple apple crisp, I used maple syrup in it within the filling and the topping. It was a little bit of an experiment, since I have never tried it in a topping like this earlier than however it labored out very well and nonetheless got here out crispy and yummy!
The apples had been so scrumptious and flavorful they actually did not want an excessive amount of sweetening so I added simply sufficient maple together with some vanilla and cinnamon to sweeten the filling. I used honeycrisp apples on this, however I might advocate any tart candy or tart apple for this in order that it has good taste. It baked up superbly and smelled superb, filling my kitchen with a heavenly aroma and I couldn’t wait to attempt it!
I served it heat with a few of my Maple Pecan Ice Cream I made just lately and it was so scrumptious! The filling was so flavorful with the candy tart tender apples, scented with cinnamon, vanilla and maple, and the crispy topping was excellent! In case you are within the temper for a simple fall dessert, undoubtedly give this Vegan Maple Apple Crisp a attempt!
