Ingredients
-
112 g / 1/2 cup Crystal margarine, at room temperature
25 g / 2 tbsp cup light brown sugar, packed
1 Egg white
5 ml / 1 teaspoon vanilla
65 g / 1/2 cup all purpose flour
50 g / 1/2 cup Almonds, slivered, skin on
115 g / 3/4 cup Oats, large flake
0.5 g / 1/8 tsp salt
0.5 g / 1/8 tsp baking powder
0.5 g / 1/8 tsp nutmeg
4 Apples, such as royal gala, peeled and sliced
1/2 lemon, juiced
33 g / 2 tbsp Crystal margarine, melted
65 g / 3 tbsp granulated sugar

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C).
- For topping, beat 1 cup of the Crystal margarine and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, salt, baking powder, almonds, oats and nutmeg to combine. Add the dry to the margarine mixture and combine just until blended.
- Toss the sliced apples with lemon juice in a large bowl, then add the granulated sugar, 1/4 cup melted Crystal margarine and cinnamon.
- Divide the apples amongst 6 eight ounce mason jars.
- Crumble the oat and almond mixture evenly over the apples. Place the jars on a lined baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet with the filled jars into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the apples are softened and the crumble is golden brown.
- Remove the baked crisps from the oven and allow them to fully cool before sealing them with the lids and storing them in the fridge.
- Pack a jar in your lunch and allow the crisp to come up to room temperature, or serve warm by gently heating it with the lid off, in the microwave.
