Autumn and apples are like hand in glove. I love making apple desserts and salads and I needed a Vegan and Gluten-Free dessert for a gathering of friends. This recipe fit the bill and was scrumptious for all.
APPLE CRUMBLE — GLUTEN FREE AND VEGAN
- 6 large Granny Smith apples (around 1 kilo), peeled, cored and chopped into cubes
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup arrowroot powder
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp. ground ginger (optional)
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 tbsp. water
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Topping:
- 1 cup almond meal
- 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract2 tbsp. water
- Preheat oven to 180C (350F).
- In a large bowl combine all the filling ingredients making sure that all the apples are coated well.
- Spread the apples evenly in an approximately 31x21cm (12.2×8.27inch) baking dish and set aside.
- For the crumble topping, reusing the bowl from the apples, combine all the topping ingredients well with a spatula. If you feel like it isn’t mixed in well enough evenly, I like to get in with my hands.
- Crumb the topping over the apples evenly and put in the oven to bake for around 45-50 minutes.
- Serve warm with some vegan ice cream, cream or even yoghurt.
