Ingredients
Filling
- 3 lbs tart apples about 8
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 1-1/2 cups all purpose flour or white whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup vegan butter or vegan shortening
- 2-4 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚F. Line a sheet pan with tin foil to catch drippings just in case the crumble filling bubbles over the sides while baking.
- Peel, core and thinly slice apples and toss in lemon juice in a mixing bowl to keep them from browning. Coat apple slices in sugar, cinnamon and vanilla extract and add the mixture to a baking dish or pie plate.
- In a separate bowl stir flour, sugars, salt and cinnamon together with a fork. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs with some pea sized bits. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time and stir with a fork until topping comes together into shaggy/lumpy crumbles.
- Cover apples with crumble topping and bake at 400˚F for 40 minutes until juices are bubbling and apples are soft.
- Serve hot or warm with a scoop of vanilla bean coconut ice cream. Enjoy!
Notes
- Leftover crumble will keep covered at room temperature overnight or for several days refrigerated.
