Apple Crisp

Plenty of maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon and oats make this my favorite recipe for Apple Crisp! It is much simpler than a pie and arguably as good. Plus it can be made ahead so it is a great dessert to make if you are having company.

The Ingredients

• Apples- Use any kind or a combination of kinds; depending on the sweetness, you may need to add more maple syrup. You need about 4 large apples which will yield 6 cups sliced. I like to slice them around ¼ inch thick, but you can vary the sizes in order to add some texture. Peeling the apples is optional.
• Maple Syrup- You can use honey or brown sugar instead for the filling but maple is really tasty with apple!
• Lemon Juice- Adds a little freshness and helps to prevent the apples from browning if you make it ahead. It can definitely be left out.
• Vanilla Extract
• Cinnamon
• Butter- Unsalted or salted butter will work.
• Brown Sugar
• Large Flake Oats- Quick oats will also work. The texture of the crumble topping will be slightly different but still delicious!
• Oat Flour- To make your own oat flour, pulse ¾ cup of large flake or quick oats in a blender until they are the consistency of flour. You can also substitute with almond flour, whole wheat flour or all purpose flour.
• Sea Salt

The Method

1. Mix together filling.
2. Combine ingredients for topping.
