Ingredients
Apple Filling:
- 4 sweet potatoes pricked
- 4 sweet apples finely diced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tbsp tapioca or cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Crisp Topping:
- 1 cup rolled oats gluten free, if needed
- 1/2 cup gluten free flour
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegan butter
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 F and place the sweet potatoes on a baking tray. Bake until very tender and soft, about an hour. Remove from the oven, cut in half and scoop out the insides, leaving behind a few millimeters of sweet potato around the edges. Set aside for a side dish or smoothie.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 375 F.
- In a bowl, combine the apples, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon and vanilla. Place the sweet potato jackets onto a baking sheet and stuff the sweet potato jackets with the apple mixture.
- In another bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, butter and salt. Top the sweet potatoes with the apple mixture then top the apple mixture with the crisp topping.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve with vegan yogurt or coconut cream, if desired.
Notes
- You can serve them as is for a personal sized dessert, or top them off with a little yogurt (dairy free, if needed) or coconut cream instead.
- Be sure to give the sweet potatoes a good scrub to get rid of any dirt. Run it under cold water and brush them with a vegetable brush to be extra thorough.
- Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Jonagold, or Honeycrisp are great options for the crisp as they hold up well to baking.
