How to Make High Protein Apple Crisp
- Prep the Apples
Wash and chop four large Honey Crisp apples into small cubes. (A veggie chopper can save you time). Add them to an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish. Toss with two teaspoons of cinnamon, two tablespoons of maple syrup, and a squeeze of lemon juice until evenly coated.
- Make the Crumble
In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, almond flour, Vedge Nutrition frosted cinnamon roll protein powder, coconut sugar, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, chopped walnuts, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until the mixture becomes crumbly and slightly sticky.
- Assemble
Spread the crumble evenly over the apple mixture in your baking dish.
- Bake
Place the dish in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C). Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crumble topping is golden brown.
- Serve and Enjoy
Let it cool slightly before serving. Top with coconut yogurt for a creamy, dairy-free finish. Enjoy warm as a dessert, or refrigerate and serve chilled for breakfast or a snack.
Recipe Tips for High Protein Apple Crisp
Make it Nut-Free: To make a nut-free apple crisp, replace walnuts with pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds for the same crunchy texture without nuts. Use oat flour or a mix of ground sunflower seeds for a nut-free crumble that still holds together beautifully.
Make Single Serving Apple Crisp: Press the crumble mixture into muffin tins lined with parchment for individual apple crisp cups—perfect for portion control or meal prep.
Make-Ahead: You can assemble the apple filling and crumble separately, refrigerate overnight, and bake fresh the next day.
Storage: Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to bring back the crisp texture. The microwave works too, but the topping will soften.
