Vegan Apple Cinnamon Crumble Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Apple Filling:

• 4 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well), peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1/4 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

For the Crumble Topping:

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour if desired)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup coconut oil or vegan butter, melted
• 1/4 cup chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans) or shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the Apple Filling:
   • In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch (if using). Mix well to ensure the apples are evenly coated.
   • Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
3. Make the Crumble Topping:
   • In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and chopped nuts (if using). Mix well.
   • Add the melted coconut oil or vegan butter and stir until the mixture resembles a crumbly dough.
4. Assemble the Crumble:
   • Evenly distribute the crumble topping over the apple filling in the baking dish.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, optionally topped with vegan ice cream or coconut whipped cream.
