Healthy Apple Blackberry Crisp (gluten free & vegan)
This healthy Apple Blackberry Crisp is gluten free, vegan and absolutely beyond scrumptious!
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.
