Ingredients
- For the apple filling:
- 4-5 medium apples (such as Gala, Fuji or Golden), peeled, cored and diced
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar (or cane sugar)
- 1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- For the crumble:
- 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
- 1/2 cup gluten-free oatmeal
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar (or cane sugar)
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cold vegan margarine, diced
- Slivered almonds for garnish (optional)
Preparation steps
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 20x20 cm baking dish or individual ramekins.
- For the apple filling: In a large bowl, combine the diced apples, coconut sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon juice. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- For the crumble: In another bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, oatmeal, coconut sugar, cinnamon and salt. Cut in the cold vegan margarine with your fingers or a pastry blender until crumbly.
- Spread the crumble mixture evenly over the apple filling.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the crumble is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbly. If desired, sprinkle with flaked almonds during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Delicious alone or with a scoop of vegan ice cream.
Chef’s tip
For an even crispier crumble, you can add an additional tablespoon of coconut sugar to the crumble mixture. Serve it warm with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream for a perfect dessert.
