Chef’s Tips
- We used honeycrisp apples in our recipe, but you can use whatever your favorite red apple is! You can use green apples if you like, but the crisp may be a bit more tart, depending on which apples you use.
- Cashew butter is a little expensive, but we highly recommend it for this recipe. It makes the apple crisp buttery, nutty, and absolutely decadent. If you prefer not to use it, you can swap it for vegan butter or regular butter.
- You can also pulse your topping ingredients a few times in the food processor until fully blended.
- We love this recipe with our keto whipped cream, but if you are vegan, try it with a plant-based whipped cream or ice cream.
