Dairy Free Maple Caramel Apple Crisp

Cook time45 min

Tender apple slices get tossed with maple syrup, warm cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom, then bathed in a silky caramel sauce built from coconut oil and full-fat coconut milk for that deep, glossy richness. The topping is where this crisp really shines: rolled oats, almond flour, and chopped pecans come together with melted coconut oil and more maple syrup into a clumpy, buttery-textured streusel that bakes up deep golden brown. Everything bubbles away in the oven until the apples soften into a jammy, spiced filling and the top turns crisp and toasted at the edges. A short rest before serving lets the caramel settle into every bite without losing its shine. This one's a genuinely satisfying dessert to bring to the table, and it fits neatly into a dairy free spread without anyone feeling like they're missing out.
