I made this Vegan Apple Crisp for my aunt’s garden party last month. The oats turned golden and crunchy on top, and my mom said it smelled like fall.

I keep the crisp covered at room temperature for up to two days, or in the fridge for up to four days. The stay crunchy, and I let scoops come to room temperature before serving.
