Recipe Notes

1. You can use any kind of apples for this recipes. I used granny smith apples, but I like to switch it up. Sometimes I use honeycrisp, fuji or whatever else I can find. 
2. You can use vegan butter OR coconut oil for the topping. I suggest earth balance vegan butter, it has a good flavor for baking. I haven't tried this oil-free, but you may be able to replace the oil/butter with applesauce.
