Vegan Apple Crumble Dessert

Jump to Recipe

Apple desserts are my favorite to make and, of course, eat. I love making apple pie, but if you’re feeling lazy and want to eat your apple dessert even quicker, you’ll love this apple crumble recipe. It is vegan and, although I did make mine with whole wheat flour, you can easily substitute for a gluten free flour and make yours gluten free as well.

What you will need

Filling Ingredients

• 2 lb apples (about the same as 6 small/medium apples)
• 1 lemon (both the juice and zest)
• 2 tbsp corn starch
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 cup sugar

Crumble Topping Ingredients

• 1 cup oats
• 3/4 cup oat flour
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds
• 1/3 cup coconut oil
• 1 flax egg
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• pinch of salt

Filling

• Start by washing and peeling your apples.
• Then chop them up in small pieces (about 1 inch in length).

• Add them to a large bowl and then add all of the filling ingredients. Mix well.

• Then transfer to a baking dish. I used a round glass Pyrex dish.

Crumble Topping

• Add all of the topping ingredients and mix them well. Make sure all the chunks of butter are incorporated in.

• Use your hands to distribute the crumble topping all over the apple filling.

• Place your apple crumble in the oven and bake at 375*F for 45-60 minutes. I like when the top of the crumble is crispy, so I baked mine for a full hour.

• Top it with some whipped cream or vegan ice cream!

I also made a little video to show the whole process so I hope that makes it easy to follow 🙂
