Apple Crisp (healthy + easy!)

My obsession for these last few months! This Apple Crisp is so simple, healthy, low sugar, and gluten-free + dairy-free. Perfect for dessert, a snack, breakfast, or even using as a topping for yogurt and oatmeal bowls.

I love topping it with whipped cream, coconut whip (the brand So Delicious is amazing!), or vanilla ice cream. In these photos, I used oat milk ice cream ☺️
