Easy Apple Crisp (margarine free!)

What you need: 

5 cups apples, thinly sliced
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/3 cup oil
1 tablespoon nondairy milk

What you do: 

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Boil apples in water for 2 minutes to soften them up. Strain and place at the bottom of a square cooking dish.
2. Mix remaining ingredients until you get a flaky texture (if too moist, add a little bit more flour and mix well). Sprinkle over the apples and even out with a spoon.
3. Place dish in oven and bake 30 minutes. Allow to cool before eating.
Source of recipe: I try to use vegan margarine as little as possible when I cook, so finally decided to create a vegan margarine free apple crisp recipe, since I love this dessert so much. I hope you enjoy this!

SO HOW'D IT GO?

I just printed this off. I will let you know how I like it! I just need to pick up some whole wheat flour, nutmeg, soy milk, and rolled oats. Not much in my cupboard.  ::)

YUM!!!!

I made this this morning, and it was sooo good!

I used applesauce instead of oil, so I added extra flour because it was really moist. I also added 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the topping.

I was amazed at how easy this was! 5 stars, and I would absolutely make it again!

This is a great basic recipe to build upon, I made it and it turned out delicious!  Here are my variations:
I added a little cinnamon sucanat & a tiny pinch of salt and flour to the apples prior to putting the topping on.  Then I added another small pinch of salt to the dry ingredients and I used 1/2 applesauce 1/2 oil for the total 1/3 C of Oil.  I also didn't need to add the Tbsp of rice milk since it seemed wet enough.  Oh and I used spelt flour, I also didn't cook the apples first but I was using softer apples and they turned out just right after about 40 minutes at 350.

this looks yummy, but I didn't find rolled oats. Can I use whole oats instead??

As if this needs another 5-star review ;) But I'm telling you it ROCKS. If you use a harder apple like granny smith it really IS important to cook them a bit first, which I didn't because I failed to note the difference from soft Mackintoshes. But it was still amazing. Used a lot less oil in the crumble, and it  still had perfect crunchy- crumbly- sweetness. My mom used to make this with margerine every Christmas and since going vegan that's been a problem... not anymore! Thank you sooo much! :)

i just made this--it's great! i did add a tiny bit of earth balance to the very top, so that it would crisp up a little more. next time, i think i'll sub applesauce for half of the oil. overall, it was very tasty. thanks!

This is a winner!
Ran out of apples, so used blueberries, and it worked great.

Because this looks so good I am contemplating whether I should make this for thanksgiving!  Can you use this crisp topping for pumpkins?

This came out good but I think I will try spicing the apples first. The crisp was really yummy, but the apples were kinda bland. Still, Excellent recipe!
