There’s nothing like a simple and classic apple crisp! This one is entirely vegan and goes great with a vegan vanilla ice cream.
On the Ingredients
- Apples originally came from Central Asia, but they have been cultivated in Asia and Europe for centuries before being brought to America by European colonists. Apples grown from seeds are very different from their parent trees, so to maintain desirable varieties, apple trees are grafted, meaning each apple tree is a clone of the tree that initially produced that variety of apples. The term “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” may be wishful thinking, but apples are very nutrient-dense, containing vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. (Read more about apples.)

Oats are generally considered a very healthy grain. They are highly nutritious, with lots of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They’re a good source of carbohydrates and fiber, including beta-glucan, the special fiber responsible for oatmeal’s famous heart-healthy reputation. Beta-glucan is also good for reducing blood sugar and improving insulin sensitivity. It is highly digestible and sticks to your ribs! Oats are naturally gluten-free but are often milled around other grains, which may cause cross-contamination. The bulk department has “gluten-free oats,” which have been processed in a gluten-free facility, so if you’re gluten-sensitive, you should stick to this kind. (More on the health benefits).
