Yummy Apple Crisp

What you need: 

Filling:
6 cups apples, peeled and thinly sliced
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup 100% apple juice (Santa Cruz brand is good)
2-3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1-2 teaspoons cinnamon Topping:
1 1/2 cups oats (quick or old-fashioned)
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup margarine/butter
2-3 tablespoons plain nondairy milk (I use soy)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

What you do: 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine filling ingredients and stir until all the apples are coated. Pour into a 9" glass baking dish.
2. Combine topping ingredients until blended. (You may need to use 1 tablespoon more milk if it's too dry, but it should be crumbly.) Sprinkle evenly on top of apple mixture.
3. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until topping is crispy and apples are tender.
This is very good on its own, but if you want to indulge more, serve with vegan ice cream or whipped cream. Also good with vegan yogurt.

SO HOW'D IT GO?

I don't have apple juice, but I'm thinking chai concentrate (cutting down the amount of brown sugar) would be a great substitute.  I'll let you know how it works. (Hmmmm.... also contemplating throwing some dried cranberries in.)

This is a wonderful recipe! FYI: you can also easily substitute apple sauce for apple juice if you're out of the juice, as well as oil for the margarine/butter too. It really lives up to its name: yummy apple crisp :-)

The lazy man's apple pie! Great with vegan ice cream. The fiancée and I both love it, and I'll definitely make it again. Unfortunately, my crisp didn't really crisp, but that was due to my own lack of patience :3. Good recipe, thanks!

This is really good!  I've found that the soy milk for the topping isn't necessary.  I add the butter with a pastry blender (/and my hands), and that makes it moist enough.  I want the topping to get crispy, not soggy.  Great recipe!  Oh, and I save the apple peelings and run them through my juicer to get the 1/3 cup apple juice for the filling.  :-)

This is soooooooo delicious! I did not expect it to be that good. I will definitely be making this again, but maybe with more of the granola topping, because that was really good and there was barely enough. It is definitely worth peeling and slicing all those apples.

This is definitely yummy!  I used apple cider instead of juice, and it's fantastic.  I also put a dash or two of nutmeg and allspice into the filling.  Love it!

This was fantastic! I didn't have any apple juice, so I tried a bit of Pomegranate Liqueur + orange juice and it was great! I also didn't have any oatmeal so I substituted some crunchy cereal and it worked just fine!

Great recipe!  :)

This was great.  Before I had a chance to try any, half of the pan was gone.  I used water instead of apple juice and would recommend cutting back on the brown sugar.  If you really like sweet, go for the full amount!  Pair up a piece with soy or rice cream...  Yum.

Delicious!  I just went to the orchard today and got some fresh apples and I decided to make this recipe.  This is hands down the best apple crisp recipe I have ever had!  I halved it and baked at 350 F for 35 minutes and it was perfect.  Thanks for the recipe!
