This is the ultimate lazy girl’s dessert recipe. It’s rustic, fuss-free, only requires the fruit and a few pantry staples and is entirely gluten free and vegan. I have a few crisp recipes on the blog and they’re all pretty similar and have all been a major success. I basically just change up the fruit combo- blueberry and peach, pear and cranberry and apple.

The magic begins by heating cinnamon dusted apples in a cast-iron skillet. If you don’t have one, this is the perfect excuse to buy one. They’re super cheap and make everything taste better. You can use a pie plate and skip pre-cooking the apple slices, but I really like how cooking them makes them all cinnamony and soft.

For the crisp topping, we’re working with oats and almond meal; which gives the crisp such a nice nutty flavor and hearty texture. The crisp topping and slightly tart fruit filling are pretty much a match made in food heaven.

Yes, this makes a large amount, enough for 8 and I’m a little embarrassed to admit, but my husband, Landen and I had this gone in one day. It’s that good! I know you’re family will be crazy about this crisp too. It’s:

Nutty
Fruity
Warm
Healthy
Comforting
And outrageously awesome

Now off you go… get yourself in the kitchen and bake this yumminess up!

Healthy Apple Blackberry Crisp (gluten free & vegan)

This healthy Apple Blackberry Crisp is gluten free, vegan and absolutely beyond scrumptious!
Author: Kim

Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 2 apples, cored and thinly sliced about 1/4" (I didn't feel the need to peel mine.)*
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 cups fresh blackberries
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup**
  • 1/8 cup 2 tablespoons lemon juice

For the Crisp:

  • 1 cup rolled oats, gluten-free, if preferred
  • ½ cup almond meal/flour, almonds ground into flour
  • ¼ cup coconut or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted (other oils or butter will work)

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a 9-inch cast iron skillet or alternatively spray a 9-inch pie plate with a natural cooking spray.
  • Toss apple slices in cinnamon and add to the heated skillet. Cook for about 3-5 minutes to soften.
  • While apples are cooking, toss blackberries in cornstarch, maple syrup and lemon juice and set aside. Also, combine all crisp ingredients in a medium bowl.
  • Remove skillet from heat and add blackberry mixture to apples. Sprinkle oat mixture over the top.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes. Allow crisp to cool slightly before spooning out.
  • Serve warm and with vanilla ice cream, Greek yogurt, cool whip or coconut cream, if desired.

Notes

*I used organic gala apples. Feel free to use your favorite apple variety.
