This vegan & gluten-free macadamia apple crisp is a classic fall dessert that is so delicious and made with clean & minimal ingredients.
Good old apple crisp… could anything be more autumnal?! Apple crisp just screams all things fall! This classic cozy dessert has me feeling so warm… cozy… happy… all the fall feelings…
This recipe is made with clean and simple ingredients. There are actually very minimal ingredients needed for this recipe. This dessert is so easy to make and is such a crowd pleaser!!
The crisp topping is seriously amazing! It’s made simply with oats, almond flour, cinnamon, maple syrup, coconut oil and macadamia nuts.
This recipe is vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free. I love that it’s free of refined sugar and simply sweetened with just a little maple syrup.
I bake this in a cast iron skillet for the most perfect flavor!! If you don’t own a cast iron skillet you can definitely use a baking dish instead! If your skillet or baking dish is larger than 10 inches, please use 6 apples instead of 4, which is what I recommended in the recipe.
This dessert is delicious enjoyed on its own, or served with vanilla yogurt or ice cream! I’m obsessed with vegan coconut milk ice cream lately, but regular vanilla ice cream would also be amazing!
