Mini Vegan Caramel Apple Crisps
Happy first day of Autumn, friends!
Call me a basic bitch all you want, but I am so ready for pumpkin and apple spice everything.
As if this day couldn’t get any better, Ashlee and I are also celebrating our one year anniversary of going vegan!!! To commemorate, we made these mini vegan caramel apple crisps. Because we’re so nice, we decided to share the recipe with you all.
When I think of fall, all of the happy memories come to mind. Leaves changing color, sweaters, boots, football, sitting by the fire
and apple crisps topped with vanilla ice cream.
There’s definitely something magical about a hot dessert topped with creamy, cold ice cream.
If this sounds appealing to you in the slightest, then these mini vegan caramel apple crisps are just the dessert for you!
These mini vegan caramel apple crisps are perfect for all the fall festivities that are right around the corner! They’re super easy to make and require just a few ingredients. Ashlee and I made a simple caramel sauce to drizzle over the top and for some added crunch, we also added some crushed walnuts.
The great thing about this recipe is that you can modify it however you’d like. Go crazy with the toppings or keep it simple for a more traditional take on an apple crisp. The possibilities are endless!
We hope you love these mini vegan caramel apple crisps as much as we do! If you make it, take a picture and tag us on Instagram at Eat_Figs_Not_Pigs. Til next time, guys!!!
