Roasted Rhubarb Apple Crisp – 6 Ingredients [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

This roasted rhubarb apple crisp recipe is so simple – with only 6 ingredients and minimal prep time, it is the perfect springtime dish. The crisp topping is based on oats, and is free of refined flour and refined sugar, making it a healthy high-fibre dessert.

Why roast the rhubarb you may ask? Simply to save on dishes and prep time. A conventional rhubarb crisp will require that the rhubarb and apple be cooked on the stovetop to break down prior to putting in the oven with the oatmeal topping. By baking the rhubarb and apple first you cut back not only on dishes but also time spent in the kitchen. This is one of my favourite crisp toppings – I’ve finally mastered the flour-free crisp and I am so excited for you to try it!

At the end, you trade your cookies, package them in a beautiful assortment, and leave with finished gifts (and new recipes!). You never know what dietary requirements come up at group events so I thought I would create out a dairy-free, gluten-free, refined-sugar-free, vegan cookie recipe. These Easy Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are one of my new favourites, and will be a life-saver recipe when catering for multiple dietary restrictions….
