Always a welcome dessert, it seems that everyone loves Apple Crisp! This recipe is Vegan/Parve/Non-Dairy
Apple Crisp is so much simpler to make than pie…& I bet it is healthier too. Though I am no nutritionalist..it makes sense to me…though don’t get me wrong…I love pie!! But for a quick fruit dessert...Apple Crisp is a really delicious choice.
You can serve Apple Crisp alone or with ice cream…we had it with coconut whipped topping.which was delicious!
The recipe for this is by Norene Gilletz… Her CRUNCHY APPLE CRISP recipe in her cookbook THE PLEASURES OF YOUR FOOD PROCESSOR.
I follow the recipe almost exactly except I always use a non-dairy/parve margarine for the topping. Sometimes if I don’t have any non-dairy margarine I use some oil .. i usually try to half the amount of oil to the amount of butter called for….but if it seems dry I add more oil. ex. 1/2 cup of butter start with 1/4 cup of oil… And I use more apples. I put the apples in a shallow baking dish & use the same amount of topping that the recipe calls for when using less apples
One thing about Apple Crisp is that if you do not want to make a large amount, use the amount of apples you want & just adjust the topping recipe, making less to fit the pan you are using. Remember though that the apples cook down so the dish will be less full once this cooks. Sometimes I take 4 apples, slice them up, put them in an appropriate sized baking dish, half the recipe for the topping & bake! This way I have a dessert that we can eat in a day or two & not have so much left over..although, we love Apple Crisp so if I make a big dish we eat it al! It is good for breakfast with some yogurt on it!
This recipe is Parve/Non-Dairy
Here is the recipe
3 lbs apples…I used granny smith this time but use any apple you like. The granny smith were very tart
Cinnamon
1 cup raisins…. ***optional
Topping
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup non-dairy margarine *** I use Becel vegan margarine
1/2 cup oats *** I use quick oats
1 tsp cinnamon
Mehod Preheat oven to 375f
Grease a 9 x 13 pan for the 3 lbs of apples
- Prepare the apples, I peel & slice them thinly. Sprinkle with some cinnamon. The amount depends on how many apples you have so use your ‘heart’ & sprinkle away. Don’t use too much because cinnamon can be bitter so just a light sprinkle is good! Mix the apples & the cinnamon. You want all of the apples to have some cinnamon on them.
- Put the apples into the prepared baking dish
- In a bowl, mix the topping ingredients together until crumbly & completely combined *** I use my hands to do this, but you can use a fork, or the food processor but just pulse it in the processor so that the oats do not get too fine…
- Put the topping evenly over the apples
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35 – 40 minutes until the apples are cooked & the topping is brow
Let cool a bit before eating!
Enjoy!
