• Preheat the oven to 350F and lightly grease an 8 by 8 inch baking dish. Set aside.

Make the chai spice mix:

• Add the ground cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, salt, & pepper to a small bowl and whisk together. Set aside.

Make the crisp topping:

• Add the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and 1 ½ teaspoons of the chai mix to a mixing bowl and whisk together.
• Then, add the vegan butter to the bowl. Cut the butter into the dough using a pastry cutter, fork, or even a food processor until you have a crumbly mixture. Set aside.

Make the apple filling:

• Peel, core, and cut the apples into 1-inch slices. Then, add the apple slices to the greased 8 by 8 inch baking dish.
• Add the sugar, flour, lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons of the chai mix to the dish of apples. Then, stir everything together until the apples are coated.

Assemble and bake:

• Top the apple filling with the crumbled crisp topping until the apples are covered.
• Then, add to the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. The crisp is done when the topping has browned and is crunchy, the apples are soft, and the sides are bubbling and thick.
• Remove the crisp from the oven and serve warm with a big scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream on top. Enjoy!
