Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4-5 large apples preferably Fuji or Honeycrisp, cored and sliced
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup vegan butter or coconut oil cold and cut into small pieces

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking dish
  • Oven
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Peeler or knife for apples

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Core and slice the apples into thin, even pieces, then toss them in a mixing bowl with a pinch of cinnamon and a tablespoon of water or lemon juice to prevent browning.
  3. Spread the apple slices evenly into the prepared baking dish, creating a comfortable layer that will bake into tender, bubbling fruit.
  4. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, stirring to mix evenly.
  5. Add cold vegan butter or coconut oil to the dry mixture, then use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples, covering them in a rustic, crumbly blanket.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving, allowing the juices to settle and the topping to crisp nicely.

Notes

Serve warm, topped with vegan vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra comfort.
