Delicious Vegan Apple Crisp

We had family from Connecticut to our house last night for a big plant-based dinner.  Everyone complimented how delicious the food was.  We served the Chipotle Bean Bowl, Cuban Garbanzos as well as this yummy Apple Crisp.

Thanks to the Hell yeah it's Vegan! blog for the recipe.  I followed it exactly, except I
added raisins and pecans on top of the apples.  Everyone raved about how delicious it was.  I can't wait to try it this summer with some North Carolina peaches!

3. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and semi-translucent.
4. Pour mixture over apples.
