Vegan Apple Crumble

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish. Set aside for later.

Step 2

Stir all Brown Sugar Oat Crumble Topping ingredients except butter together until well mixed. Note: make sure to use finely chopped pecans so the crumbles don’t become too big and chunky.

Step 3

Add melted butter.

Step 4

Using a fork, gently stir and fold until clumps form. Continue to stir and break up larger clumps.

Step 5

Evenly stir together the mixture until no flour patches remain.

Step 6

Add all Apple Filling ingredients to a bowl. Stir and fold until all the apples are well coated. Allow to sit for a few minutes, or until sugar is dissolved.

Step 7

Pour apple filling into prepared baking dish. Using a rubber spatula or spoon, smooth apples into an even layer.

Step 8

Sprinkle Brown Sugar Oat Crumble Topping over apples until apples are completely covered.

Step 9

Bake for 39-45 minutes, or until juices are bubbling up the sides. Mine took 42 minutes for soft-baked, but still-a-touch-crisp apples. You can stick a fork into an apple piece just under the crumble topping to test for desired tenderness of apples.

Step 10

Cool for about 10 minutes on a cooling rack, then serve with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
