A square pan filled with Apple Crisp Granola on a marble countertop with a large spoon and two white dessert bowls next to it.

Apple Crisp Granola

Jani H. Leuschel
Who doesn't love a homey apple dessert with cinnamon spice and a crispy topping? It's an especially good thing when prep is super quick (thanks to the granola).

Equipment

  • square baking pan 9"x9" or something close
  • large mixing bowl
  • paring knife or use an apple slicer
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • large spatula or use a wooden spoon or stirrer

Ingredients
  

  • Baking spray for the pan
  • 4 apples
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch (optional)
  • 2 cups granola
  • ¼ cup flour (can use gluten-free)
  • ¼ cup brown stevia sweetener, or regular brown sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons cinnamon (divided use)
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (divided use)
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • ¼ cup coconut oil or canola oil
  • ¼ cup butter, softened. Substitute canola or coconut oil, if vegan.

Instructions
 

  • Before beginning prep, wash hands thoroughly for 20 seconds. Lather, rinse, and dry.
  • Wash apples. Using a paring knife, cut them in half and remove the core. Place them flat side down on a cutting board, and reach for a large knife. Cut into slices or chop into rough cubes.
    I don't remove the skins because they contain so much nutrition. Plus, they're often super sweet.
    (Or, use an apple slicer.)
  • Place your prepped apples in a bowl and toss with maple syrup, lemon juice, ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, and ⅛ teaspoon of nutmeg. Add cornstarch, if using, and stir to coat.
  • Pour apples into a square baking dish coated with baking spray.
  • Wipe out the bowl used to prep the apples. Combine the granola, brown sugar, flour, remaining cinnamon, and allspice. Stir well.
  • Combine the coconut oil and softened butter with the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
  • Spoon or ladle topping onto apples and spread evenly. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet in the oven (to catch any bubbly juices) and bake for about 45 minutes.
    Check at 30 minutes to see if the apples are soft and make sure the topping is not getting too brown.
  • When the topping is golden brown and the apples are soft with bubby juices, remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping. Or enjoy at breakfast with plain yogurt on top!
