Looking for an easy and healthy apple crisp recipe? This single serve apple crisp is gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free. It is honestly so easy to make and so tasty. It is the perfect autumn breakfast or dessert!
Can I make this recipe with other fruit?
I’ve only tried this recipe with apples, but it should work well with really any other fruit! You could try peaches, nectarines or even berries!
What ingredients will I need for this single serve apple crisp?
This apple crisp requires only a couple simple ingredients. They are:
- oats
- oat flour (I use homemade, see below)
- salt
- cinnamon
- pure maple syrup (or other sweetener, see below)
- coconut oil (or other neutral oil or vegan butter, melted)
- apples
A note about the oats….
If you need the recipe to be 100% gluten free, be sure to use certified gluten free oats like Bob’s Red Mill gluten free old fashioned rolled oats. Oats are naturally gluten free, but some oats may be cross-contaminated with gluten-containing grains if not purchased from a certified gluten free brand.
How do I make homemade oat flour?
To make homemade oat flour simply blend quick, old fashioned, or rolled oats in a high speed blender (or process them in a food processor). Blend/process until a flour consistency is reached. If you want to see a video tutorial of how I make my own oat flour, you can view the video here!
What other sweeteners can I use?
You can really use whatever sweetener you prefer in this recipe. I used pure maple syrup but you could use raw honey, date syrup, coconut sugar, monk fruit, or vanilla protein powder. A liquid sweetener will help to make the crumble mixture more moist (which is a good thing), but if you prefer to use a granulated sweetener, that will work too.
What should I serve this with?
This single serve apple crisp pairs well with dairy free vanilla yogurt (I love Forager Project), dairy free whipped topping (I use homemade coconut whipped cream), or dairy free vanilla ice cream (I use homemade vanilla bean ice cream).
