Gluten Free Vegan Apple Crumble (+ Tips for the Perfect Recipe)
Author: 
Serves: 8x8" pan (serves 5)
 
Notes: I prefer using frozen fruit because it creates a more jammy texture
Ingredients
  • Filling:
  • 5 cups chopped fruit (Frozen berries, Granny Smith apples, pears)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp tapioca starch
  • juice of ½ lemon (if you are using frozen berries, apples are optional)
  • zest 2 lemon
  • Topping:
  • 11/2 cup quick oats (gluten-free, if needed)
  • ¼ cup hemp hearts
  • 2 tbsp ground flax
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Topping: take ½ cup of oats, blitz until fine. Mix the dry ingredients together before pouring over the coconut oil and maple syrup. Mix together. Set aside in fridge.
  3. Preparing the fruit: if you are using frozen berries (highly recommend because it creates a more jammy effect), do not thaw, use it right away.
  4. For fresh fruit e.g. apples: peel, core and chop into chunks.
  5. In a bowl, toes together all the filling ingredients.
  6. Pour into a greased 8x8 inch pan. (I have more than enough to make 2 extra ramekins)
  7. Sprinkle the topping over the berries.To get the best crispness, don’t pack or press the topping. Spread it evenly over the fruit.
  8. Bake in the oven for 35-45 mins or until the sauce is bubbling and top is golden brown.
  9. Let it cool for 5 mins before serving with with yogurt/ ice cream.
