Why you’ll love this delicious dessert

  • It’s so easy to make and you’ll have it on the table in under an hour.
  • You can make it ahead or batch cook and freeze it.
  • All the ingredients are 100% vegan.

What ingredients do I need?

You’ll need all the ingredients in the photograph below.

Ingredients needed, brown sugar, apples, plain flour, and vegan butter.

You’d never know that this apple crumble was vegan. Perfect apples with a divine crumble topping make it so popular!

What are the best apples to make apple crumble with?

For all our versions of apple crumble prefer to use Braeburn or Granny smith apples.

But you can use what you prefer.

Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, or red apples would also be great.

If you’ve got an apple tree in your garden, then freshly picked apples would be amazing!

Do I need to peel the apples?

You don’t ‘have’ to.

But honestly?

It’s much better if you peel them.

Peeled apples are soft and delicious.

If you leave the skins on, you get tough pieces in the crumble, and while there’s nothing wrong with that, we don’t think it tastes so great.

Is this recipe gluten free?

It’s not gluten free but it’s easy to adapt it.

Simply use gluten free flour.

What do I serve with apple crumble?

Usually, apple crumble is served with vanilla ice cream or custard.

You’ll need to ensure you have vegan ice cream and vegan custard.

Is vegan apple crumble the same as vegan apple crisp?

No, they are different.

The real difference is that crumble doesn’t contain oats, whereas apple crisp does.

Play with the flavors

To vary our vegan apple crumble recipe, we sometimes play with the flavors.

Try adding a little lemon juice, ginger, and crushed pecan nuts to your apples.

Or how about a little ground cinnamon to your crumble mixture.

Give a lovely coconut taste by using coconut sugar instead of brown sugar.

How do I store it?

You can store our vegan apple crumble in the fridge for up to 3 days.

It does freeze well for up to 3 months, but we recommend freezing the crumble topping and the apple mixture separately if possible..

    If you’re cooking for a vegan, make sure you use dairy free cream.
  • Out of vegan butter?

How to make vegan apple crumble with step by step instructions

Making our vegan apple crumble recipe is easy if you follow our simple instructions.

Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C.

Place your apples and sugar in a large pan with a lid over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes.

Transfer the apple mixture to an oven proof dish, spread it evenly, and set aside.

In a mixing bowl add flour and cold cubed vegan butter, then, using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour.

In a large bowl add plain flour and brown superfine sugar (or demerara sugar) and mix to combine.

Then, add your cold vegan butter cubes and, using your fingers, rub the butter into the mixture.

Give the bowl a shake and if any lumps rise to the surface, continue rubbing it in.

Now, pour the crumble mix onto the apple filling and even the topping out, so the apple is completely covered.

Press on the topping with the back of a fork, so it compacts a little and holds together, then drag the fork over the crumble topping, to create an interesting design.

If you like an extra sweet crumble topping, then sprinkle sugar over the top.

Place the ovenproof baking dish on a baking sheet and cook until golden brown, approximately 35 – 40 minutes.

Remove from the oven, serve while hot and enjoy!
