Can I adjust the sweetness of this apricot crisp?

Yes, the recipe suggests using 1/3 to 1 cup of sugar for the filling, allowing you to tailor the sweetness based on your taste and the natural sweetness of your fresh apricots.

What kind of oats should I use for the topping?

The recipe specifically calls for old-fashioned oats, not the quick-cooking kind, to ensure the topping achieves the desired texture and crispness.

How do I ensure the topping is crumbly and well-distributed?

After mixing the dry topping ingredients, stir in the chilled vegan butter cut into small pieces and pinch it along with the oats and flour until it clumps together and is evenly distributed.

What spices are used in the apricot filling?

The filling is seasoned with 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, complemented by the zest of one small lemon for a bright flavor.

How should I store leftover Best Apricot Crisp?

Once cooled, cover any leftover apricot crisp and store it in the refrigerator. It can be gently reheated in the oven or enjoyed chilled.
