Perfect for those seeking a vegan-friendly, refined-sugar-conscious apple crisp recipe with a nutty upgrade!
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple slices, maple syrup, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, gently heat the peanut butter for 20-30 seconds until slightly softened. Drizzle the peanut butter over the apple mixture and gently stir to combine.
Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
In another mixing bowl, prepare the topping by combining the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, melted coconut oil, and salt. Mix until the ingredients form a crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apple mixture in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling and tender.
Remove from the oven and let the crisp cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vegan ice cream for an extra treat!
