Coffee-Spiced Apple Crisp
A warm, gooey apple crisp infused with coffee and cozy spices, topped with a crunchy oat streusel that’s completely plant-based and delightfully addictive.
Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 5 cups peeled sliced apples (Granny Smith, honey, trauma—whatever you’ve got)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp instant espresso powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
For the Topping:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (because you're about to change lives).
- In a bowl, toss apples with maple syrup, espresso powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and lemon juice.
- Spread that beautifully spiced mixture into a greased baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Pour in melted coconut oil and stir until clumps form. You want crumbles, not soup.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples like a fairy with good taste.
- Bake for 40 minutes until bubbling and golden.
- Cool for 10 minutes unless you're living dangerously.
- Serve with vegan ice cream or straight from the pan in a robe.
- Store leftovers in the fridge—if there are any.

Notes & Flavor Tips
- Use tart apples for a nice contrast—sweet apples can make it one-note.
- Add chopped pecans to the topping for a nutty upgrade.
- Try a dash of cardamom if you’re feeling fancy and international.
- Double the topping if you’re a crust-over-content kind of woman (respect).
- Serve warm with a drizzle of cold brew concentrate for extra coffee drama.
