Preheat the oven to 375° F.
Peel, cut, and slice 8 cups of apples and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Sprinkle the sliced apples with 4 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour or cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg.
Stir the apples until they are evenly coated in the sugar mixture.
Spray an 8 x 8-inch baking dish with a little oil to prevent sticking, then pour the apples into the bottom of the dish and spread evenly.

Place 2/3 cup vegan butter, 1 1/2 cup flour, 1 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp baking soda in a mixing bowl.
Mix well until the butter is incorporated and you have a uniform crumbly mixture. (I find it easiest to use my hands for this step, but you can use the back of a fork or a pastry cutter.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly on top of the apples.
Bake at 375°F for 35 minutes or until the top is crispy and slightly darker.
Let it cool for about 15 minutes before serving to allow it to firm up slightly.

Top your vegan apple crisp with some homemade aquafaba ice cream, aquafaba whipped cream, or vegan whipped cream frosting! You can even give it a drizzle of vegan salted caramel, easy peanut butter caramel, or homemade vegan butterscotch to make it fancy.
If you want to save on calories, you can cut the amount of crumble topping in half and still have a nice layer on top of the apples.
Be sure to use crisp, firm apples for apple slices that will keep their structure.
Bake in an 8 x 8-inch pan for a thick apple crisp or in a 9 x 13 lasagna pan for a thinner crisp.
