- If you don't have Granny Smith apples, any other baking apples will work just as well.
- If you prefer a sweeter apple crisp, feel free to add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar.
- Substitute honey for granulated sugar - Honey is a healthier sweetener than granulated sugar and it also adds an extra layer of flavor to the dish.
- Substitute almond meal for oats - Almond meal has a nutty flavor that can enhance the flavor of the dish and it is also gluten-free.
