Apple picking season is upon us and we’re here for it! It’s time to whip out that basket and head to the fields to indulge in an age-old autumn tradition. Apple picking not only provides a fun activity for the family but also leaves us with a bountiful amount of apples to transform into something magical.
Apple picking is the perfect way to spread the autumn cheer while grabbing a healthy snack. This spirited activity provides a great excuse to get outdoors and experience the fresh fall air. But beware: ticks and mosquitoes abound. Grab your Wondercide Insect Repellent and hit the orchards with protection. Wondercide uses plant power to ward off mosquitoes and ticks. Choose from the sweet aromas of peppermint, rosemary, cedarwood, and lemongrass.
If you’re like us, you probably want to go above and beyond with your apples to create something extra special. But the world of apple-related desserts is vast and a little overwhelming. So, we’ve narrowed down a delicious recipe inspired by Plantifully Based to get you started. This irresistible vegan apple crumble will have you routinely returning to the orchard eager to make more.
Let’s get baking!
Irresistible Vegan Apple Crumble!
Ingredients:
Filling
- 4 medium apples of your picking peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons organic granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ tablespoon all purpose flour or gluten free 1:1 flour
Crumble Topping
- ½ cup all purpose or gluten free 1:1 flour
- 4 ½ tablespoons cold vegan butter
- ¾ cup organic brown sugar or slightly less date paste
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Peel (optional) and chop apples.
Add chopped apples to a small baking dish, approximately 7.5in x 6 in.
Sprinkle the apple-filling ingredients over the apples and toss everything until the apples are coated.
Next, add the crumble ingredients to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use the side of a fork to cut the vegan butter into the flour to make crumble pieces. Be sure to mix all of the flour with the butter and make the crumble pieces as big or as small as you desire.
When you’ve finished assembling your crumble, use it to cover the apples.
Bake for 45 minutes. When the baking is finished, let the crumble sit for five minutes to cool off.
Serve the dish alone or with some creamy vegan ice cream and enjoy!
