The best apple crisp you'll ever have

Apple crisp is a guaranteed crowd pleaser. It's warm, sweet, and filling, and most importantly, incredibly easy to make. 

We've tried out a few recipes, but this one stood out to us. The pecans add a nice crunch and using coconut sugar in place of regular white sugar allows the natural sweetness of the apples to shine through. Using a bit of our 100% Apple Juice will also up the ante on the apple flavour. 

This recipe was adapted from The Minimalist Baker and is therefore totally vegan and easily made gluten-free. But that doesn't mean it's not completely delicious. Trust us... the next time you bring this to a potluck, you'll be coming home with an empty pan.
