Ingredients needed to make apple crisp filling.
- Apples. Look for average sized apples.
- Sugar. Only a small amount is needed and is used to sweeten the apples while baking.
- Cornstarch. This is a thickener for the baked ingredients.
- Cinnamon. This adds to the flavor of the apples.
- Lemon Juice. This helps keep the apples from turning brown from the air.
Ingredients needed for vegan crumble topping.
- Brown Sugar. This adds color, flavor and complements the baked apples.
- Oats. I like old fashion oats for a crumble topping.
