Notes
Tips for this recipe
Fresh cut apples work well in this recipe, but they tend to make the crisp drier, this is why adding a little maple syrup over before baking is important.
Frozen apples will have to thaw before making this crisp. Let the frozen apples thaw in the refrigerator 1 or 2 days before making this recipe. Drain any excess water from the apples before adding to the crisp.
While baking this apple crisp, if you notice that it looks a little dry, you can add maple syrup. I have this while baking and even after I have finished baking.
If you are baking this apple crisp with gluten free flours or a vegan margarine, I have noticed that the top does not seem to get a golden brown like it would with regular flour or real butter. So I go by the tenderness of the apples. I have made this apple crisp for years and have tried it as a vegan and non-vegan recipe, this is what I have found in my experience.
Also the bake times can vary, so keep a close eye on this. After 35 minutes, check the tenderness of the apples, if they are to your liking, it is done. If not continue in 5 minute increments deciding if it needs to bake a little longer.
