Notes

Storage Directions

Storing: Leftovers keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Reheat the dish in a preheated oven at 350° Fahrenheit until the top is crisp and the apples are hot.
Freezing: Leftovers can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Cool the crisp completely and transfer to a freezer-safe container before freezing. Defrost in the fridge overnight before reheating. Unbaked apple crisp can be frozen for up to 2 months. Defrost in the freezer overnight and then bake according to instructions.

Recipe Success Tips

Nut-Free: For a nut-free apple crisp, omit the chopped walnuts and pecans.
Sugar-Free: For sugar-free vegan apple crisp, use 1 teaspoon of monk fruit sweetener in the apple filling and 2 teaspoons of monk fruit sweetener in the topping in place of the brown sugar.
If you don’t have a food processor or high-speed blender, you can use 1 cup of oat flour in place of the blended oats.
Add the lemon juice to the cut apples immediately and toss them to help keep them from browning as you prepare the other ingredients and topping.
This crisp recipe is best served warm, so plan to make it just before serving or reheat it for a few minutes in the oven.

Note: Each serving has only 5.6g added sugar per serving
