Ingredients
 

US Customary - Metric

Filling

  • 6 small (~6 cups) Granny Smith apples (peeled & cubed into ¼-inch pieces)
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar (or granulated sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Topping

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup vegan butter (melted)
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For serving

  • Dairy-free ice cream (salted caramel or vanilla)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and grab out a 9x9 baking pan.

Filling

  • Add the apple cubes to a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the top with flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Toss to combine.
  • Transfer the apples to the baking pan, evening out the top with a spatula. Set them aside while you make the filling.

Topping

  • In the same mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, melted vegan butter, and salt until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
  • Top the apple filling with this mixture, making sure it’s evenly dispersed.

Bake

  • Bake it for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Remove your vegan apple crumble from the oven and let it stand for ~10 minutes before serving as-is or with vegan ice cream. Happy eating!

Notes

  • Use firm apples: Choose firm apple varieties, like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, for the perfect balance of tartness and texture.
  • Consistent chunks: Cut your apples into even pieces for uniform cooking.
  • Don’t overmix: When you’re preparing the topping, mix until it’s just crumbly. Overmixing can lead to a doughy texture.
  • Adjust the sweetness: Taste your apples first! If they’re extra tart, you may want to add a little more sugar to the filling.
  • Let it cool: Give the crumble a few minutes to set after baking. This gives the filling time to thicken, creating a jammy texture.
  • Watch the oven: Ovens vary in temperature, so start checking your vegan apple crumble around the 25-minute mark.
  • Nutritional information is a rough estimate and should not be taken as health advice.
