Apple Crumble

This is an easy vegan, gluten-free dessert that is perfect for casual fall gatherings. I have made it in a pie dish and also in individual ramekins. Eat the leftovers for breakfast topped with plain yogurt--so good. It's basically spiced apples with wholesome granola on top!

Ingredients

• 5 Honeycrisp or other sweet apples, peeled and cut into small cubes

• 1 lemon, juice and zest

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/4 tsp allspice

• 1/4 tsp nutmeg

• 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• 2 tsp arrowroot powder (optional: this will thicken the juices but I don't mind a little juice in my crumble)

• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• 3-4 Tbsp sweetener (I use Lakanto brown sugar or maple syrup)

Crumble

• 1/2 cup almond flour

• 1 1/4 gluten-free rolled oats

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 3 tbsp almond butter

• 1/4 cup maple syrup

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. Mix together crumble ingredients and set aside.

3. Mix filling ingredients together and pour into a 9-inch pie plate.

4. If preferred, sprinkle top with about 1 tbsp coconut sugar/Lakanto brown sugar/or maple sugar.

5. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until apples are tender. Cover top with foil if it looks like the topping is burning before finished cooking.
