Step 3

Make the crumble: Whisk together the flour and sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Cut the cold vegan butter into 1-inch cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Add the vanilla extract if using.Using your hands or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour until coarse crumbs form.

Step 4

Transfer 1 cup of the crumbles to the fruits and toss to coat. Arrange the fruits into an even layer.

Step 5

Sprinkle the remaining crumble over the fruits. Try to make large crumbs as well for extra crunchiness. Do not press the crumble topping down.

Step 6

Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the crumble topping is golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before serving, or chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours if you prefer to serve it cold.
