Vegan Apricot Crisp
Description
The recipe is built on fresh apricots combined with granulated sugar, salt, and optional dried culinary lavender to layer subtle floral flavors. The topping blends old-fashioned oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, salt, and canola oil to create a crumbly streusel-like texture. When baked at 350°F, the apricots soften and release juices, becoming bubbly, while the topping crisps and browns.
Serving options include enjoying it warm, which highlights the contrast between hot fruit and crisp topping, or at cooler temperatures. Adding a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream balances the tartness of the apricots and adds creaminess. The recipe is versatile, and the topping can be adjusted with nuts, shredded coconut, or spices such as cinnamon to suit preferences.
This apricot crisp can be varied by swapping or mixing fruits, such as berries or apples, or by adding dried fruits for texture. It's also adaptable for converting into a crumble pie by adding a pastry crust beneath the fruit filling.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds apricot pitted and quartered
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lavender buds optional, dried, culinary
- Pinch salt
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup canola oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In an 8x8" baking dish or pan, combine apricots, granulated sugar, lavender buds (if using) and pinch of salt.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Drizzle in canola oil and mix until crumbly. Sprinkle oat topping onto the fruit.
- Place the baking dish on the middle rack in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbly and the crisp topping is golden brown.
- Serve warm, room temperature or cold. Optionally, top with vanilla vegan ice cream.
Notes
- Add chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or dairy-free chocolate chips to the crisp topping for extra texture and flavor.
- Swap apricots with other seasonal fruits like berries or apples, or combine with sweeter fruits such as peaches for balanced sweetness.
- Use vegan-certified brown sugar to maintain the recipe's vegan status.
- Experiment with spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, or ginger for a warming variation, or add lemon zest and juice to balance sweetness.
- To make a crumble pie, prepare a pastry crust and fill it with the apricot mixture topped with the oat streusel before baking.
