Apple Crisp with Granola Topping

YIELDS:1

TOTAL TIME:1 HOUR 40 MINS

INGREDIENTS

1 c. plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 c. packed light brown sugar

1/2 tsp. baking powder

pinch of salt

1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter

2 c. granola without dried fruit

3 1/2 lb. Granny Smith apples

1 c. granulated sugar

1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a shallow 3-quart baking dish. In a food processor, pulse 1 cup of the flour with the brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Pulse in the butter. Pulse in the granola. Transfer the topping to a bowl.
2. In a large bowl, toss the apples with the granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg and the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour, then spread in the baking dish. Sprinkle on the topping and bake for 1 hour, or until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling. Let cool for 20 minutes, then serve.
3. Make Ahead: Store overnight at room temperature. Reheat before serving.
4. Cooking Club Tip : Buying nutmeg whole has several advantages. Not only does it have a longer shelf life than the packaged variety, but it tastes and smells more intense when grated fresh and is just as easy to use. Little nutmeg graters are available in cookware stores for this purpose, but any small, sharp grater will do. Site We Like: kingslakeandcrane.com

Instant Pot Apple Crisp

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 10 minutes
• Yield: 6 1x

This Instant Pot apple crisp made with organic granola is quick and delicious! It’s a cozy vegan dessert recipe that cooks in minutes in a pressure cooker. In this crisp, the oats come out intentionally chewy.

Ingredients

1x2x3x

• 1 ½ cups One Degree Organic Sprouted Oat Vanilla Chia Granola
• ¼ cup coconut oil
• ¼ cup organic brown sugar
• 4 large or 6 small tart apples (like Granny Smith), enough for 5 cups sliced
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon, plus ⅛ teaspoon for serving
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup water
• Zest of 1/2 lemon, for serving

Instructions

1. (Before you start, read the note below.) In a small bowl, mix together the granola, room temperature coconut oil and 2 tablespoons brown sugar; you may need to use your hands to bring everything together. (Note: The granola we used was lightly sweet. If using a very sweet granola, you can lessen the sugar in the topping.)
2. Peel and slice the apples into about 1/4″ slices, enough for 5 cups, and place them in the bowl of the Instant Pot. Stir in 2 tablespoons brown sugar, then the maple, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla and water. Smooth the apples into an even layer and pour the granola mixture over the top, covering the apples.
3. Lock the top of the Instant Pot. Pressure cook on high for 2 minutes. (Note: It takes about 5 minutes for the pot to “preheat” before it starts cooking. During cooking, avoid touching the metal part of the lid.) After the pot beeps, immediately do a Quick Release: vent the remaining steam by moving the pressure release handle to “Venting”, covering your hand with a towel or hot pad. (Never put your hands or face near the steam release valve when releasing steam.)
4. While the crisp is cooking, prepare the garnish: Zest 1 lemon. Mix it together with ¼ teaspoon cinnamon.
5. After the Quick Release, remove the lid. Turn off the pot and let the crisp sit uncovered for 5 minutes (make sure Keep Warm feature is turned off). This lets the sauce thicken; the oats will be intentionally chewy, not crunchy. Zest the lemon. Scoop the crisp into bowls and add a pinch of the lemon zest garnish. If desired, serve with vegan vanilla ice cream or Coconut Whipped Cream.

Notes

Important note: If you use your Instant Pot / pressure cooker to cook strong savory items, the sealing ring on the inside of the lid can sometimes pick up flavor. You may want to check the plastic seal on the lid and smell it before you make a dessert. If it has an odor, soak it in vinegar for a few hours. Typically this shouldn’t be a problem, but we actually ran across it in our first test of this recipe. We have since purchased 2 Instant Pot sealing rings and use one for savory recipes and one for sweet recipes.

What is sprouted granola?

The organic granola we used here is One Degree Organic Sprouted Oat Vanilla Chia Granola. If you know us well, you’ll know that we typically make our own granola. But it’s a different story with One Degree Organics! They’re a family business that thinks there should be only one degree of separation between you and the person you grew your food, like a farmer’s market. Every single product they put out has thoughtfully sourced, organic ingredients.

What’s sprouted oat granola? Sprouted grains are grains that are soaked in water. This makes them nutrient-rich, easier for your body to absorb, and easier to digest. One Degree’s sprouted oat granola is made with organic soaked oats, vitamin-rich seeds and grains, and warm spices such as cinnamon, cacao, and vanilla.

A few important notes about this Instant Pot apple crisp before you start:

• If you use your Instant Pot (pressure cooker) to cook savory items, the sealing ring on the inside of the lid can sometimes pick up flavor. You may want to check the plastic seal on the lid before you make a dessert. If it has an odor, soak it in vinegar for a few hours. We have purchased 2 Instant Pot sealing rings: we use use one for savory recipes and one for sweet recipes.
• Expect a chewy topping! Since this apple crisp is cooked in a pressure cooker, the granola comes out with a chewy texture.
• Make sure to garnish! A sprinkle of lemon zest mixed with cinnamon brightens up the darker flavors of the crisp. Then serve with vanilla ice cream, vegan cinnamon ice cream or coconut whipped cream. (Bourbon whipped cream would also be nice!)
