For all of you that have gone apple picking because its October but don’t know what to do with that huge bushel of apples you brought home, I’ve got your back! Take this beautiful opportunity to make some Apple Crisp. Besides peeling and chopping all those blessed apples, it couldn’t be easier. Just solicit some helping hands and make it a fun social baking experience!

I picture this apple crisp being eaten with vegan hot cocoa in mugs, pumpkin spice candles flickering, and comfy quilts covering the laps of loved ones in your cozy Autumn homes. We deserve these little joys, don’t we? Enjoy!

Ingredients
6 medium apples, peeled and sliced
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)
1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
2 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
1/3 cup vegan butter, melted

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel and slice your apples, and add to a large bowl with lemon juice, sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, and arrowroot powder. Mix together and pour into baking dish. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, oats, and melted coconut oil and butter together until crumbly like wet sand. Spread topping mixture evenly over the apples. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until apples are bubbling and topping is brown and crisp. Let cool for 10-15 minutes, and if desired, serve with vegan vanilla ice cream or vegan whipped cream.
