Ingredients

1 1/2 cups Chunky Cinnamon Applesauce
1/3 cup oatmeal
2 tablespoons oat flour or oats ground into a flour
2 tablespoons pecans chopped (sub walnuts, hazelnuts, or raisins)
1 tablespoon butter salted (sub coconut oil plus pinch of salt)
2 teaspoons maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add ¾ cup applesauce to 2 individual baking ramekins.
In a small bowl, mix together oatmeal, oat flour, pecans, and cinnamon.
Add the maple syrup and melted butter, and stir to combine.
Top each ramekin of apple sauce with half the crisp topping mixture.
Bake for 22 minutes, or until applesauce is hot and the oats have begun to brown.

Notes

Variations and Tips

Berry Applesauce Crisp: Give this a summery spin by adding berries to the mix! Just mix in 1/2 cup of chopped strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries into the applesauce prior to topping it with the oatmeal mixture.

Make this Nut Free: No need to add the pecans to the topping! Substitute unsweetened shredded coconut for the nuts in this recipe.

Add a caramel sauce: If the caramel drizzle has your mouth watering (it should!), this Vegan Salted Caramel Sauce is easy to make and perfection over a variety of desserts.

Serve À la mode: I topped these with my Creami Vanilla Protein Ice Cream. No sugar and 60 grams of protein in a pint! Another high protein option is a scoop of Greek yogurt. Keep it dairy free by using a scoop of coconut ice cream.
