Ingredient Notes

The best apples for apple crisp

You can really use any apple that you like in this recipe, but I think a sweet yet tart and crispy apple such as: Pink Lady, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp or Jonagold works best in this recipe. You can also mix and match apple varieties for a unique apple crisp.

Natural sweetener choices

This recipe has very little added sweetener, because I like to let the sweetness from the apples shine through. If you prefer a more sweet taste, you can add a little more sweetener.

I don’t use refined sugar in my recipes, but if you prefer refined sugar you can use 2 tablespoons of it in place of the maple syrup. Other sweetener alternatives are 2 tablespoons honey, coconut or date sugar.

Graham Crackers

I like to use graham crackers that have very little sugar added to them, and Nairn’s crackers are perfect for this with just a few grams of sugar. They are a little bit sweet and add a bit of crunch to the apple crisp, and they are gluten-free.

The Oats

Old fashioned rolled oats are the best choice of oats to use in this recipe. If they aren’t available you can use quick oats. Steel cut oats are not recommended.

Recipe Tips & Variations

Make it vegan by substituting the butter with an equal amount of unrefined coconut oil.

Make it nut free by leaving out the walnuts. To add some crunch, replace the walnuts with pepitas or sunflower seeds.

Change up the nuts, by using chopped pecans or almonds in place of the walnuts.

Change up the fruit by using a combination of diced pears and apples instead of only apples. Or use only pears!

Make-ahead and Storage

Make-ahead: This recipe can be prepared ahead of time up to a day before baking it. Store the unbaked ramekins of apple crisp in the refrigerator. Remove them from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before baking it and bake them according to the instructions in the recipe card.
