Ingredients
Granny Smith Apples: I used Granny Smith apples, but I also love to bake with Honeycrisp apples for recipes like Caramelized Apples and Vegan Apple Bread, and I think they would be great in this recipe.
Brown Sugar: Brown sugar pairs so well with warm spices!
Rolled Oats: I like the texture of Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats for this Vegan Apple Crumble, but you can also use quick oats.
All-Purpose Flour: To make this apple crisp gluten-free, substitute a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour. My favorite brand is King Arthur.
Cornstarch: A little cornstarch thickens the juices released by apples during cooking.
Spices: The combination of cinnamon, ginger, and cloves makes this recipe so delicious!
Instructions
Step 1. To make the Vegan Apple Crumble first, peel, core, and chop 1 ¾-2 pounds of Granny Smith apples into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2. In a large bowl, combine chopped apples, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
Then, use your hands to toss everything together until well combined.
Next, pour the apples into a greased 8x8 square pan.
Step 3. Then, in the same large bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Now, add non-dairy butter and work the butter into the dry ingredients using your hands until the mixture is crumbly and no chunks of butter remain.
Step 4. Scatter the streusel evenly on top of the apple mixture, then bake the apple crisp in a 350°F oven for about 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and the apple mixture is bubbling at the edges.
Serve warm!
Recipe FAQs
To store, wrap the leftover apple crisp tightly with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Warm the crisp back up in an oven or in a toaster oven.
I like Granny Smith because their tartness balances the crumble out. But I also love to bake with Honeycrisp apples.
No! The baking time is enough to cook the apples through.
Expert Recipe Tips
It can be hard to tell when the vegan apple crumble or crisp is done. Look for a golden brown top and bubbling sides. It should take about 1 hour.
