Coconut Sugar Apple Crisp

Coconut Sugar Apple Crisp Gluten-Free Vegan

I am a big fan of just about any type of cooked apple dessert! This is a great recipe to add to a weeknight meal because of the ease of prep time involved. You also don't need to have much experience in the kitchen to make this recipe. My favorite variety of apple to use here is Granny Smith, though the Gingergold variety works great too! Coconut sugar is a low-glycemic sweetener with the benefit of having its vitamins and minerals still intact; it hasn't been refined like cane sugar.

I took this along to a Super Bowl party and it was a hit! I usually double the filling but not the topping. Doubling it like this is enough to fill a 9x13" pan.
