This insanely simple granola apple crisp recipe was originally shared with us by Debra’s Natural Gourmet. They made it with their Stark Sisters granola, a maple-sweetened, dairy-free brand that was produced for a quarter century. It’s no longer in production, but you can bake this with your favorite granola. Use a dairy-free store-bought granola or bake your own – it’s easy!
You can bake this easy Basic Granola, keep it maple sweetened with Earthbound Farm’s Famous Maple Granola, or my favorite Spiced Granola from Eat Dairy Free: Your Essential Cookbook.

This is a great alternative to all the sweet cakes and cookies that turn up around the holidays. It's healthier and incredibly easy to whip up! Try it with a scoop of vanilla dairy-free ice cream on top. Or enjoy along with some dairy-free yogurt for breakfast. Yes - it's that healthy!
