Ingredients Needed

  • 1.5kg (3.3 lbs) mixed apples (half Bramley works well)
  • 200g (1 cup) golden caster sugar
  • 1 lemon (for zest)
  • 100g (7 tbsp) unsalted vegan butter (cold)
  • 100g (3/4 cup + 1 tbsp) plain flour
  • 100g (3/4 cup) ground almonds
  • A pinch of ground cinnamon

How To Make Vegetarian Apple Crumble

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) / gas mark 6.
  2. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and chop the apples into 3cm (1.2 inch) chunks.
  3. Cook the Apples: Place the apples, 100g (1/2 cup) sugar, and a few fine gratings of lemon zest into a saucepan. Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes, or until softened. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. Make the Crumble Topping: Cube the vegan butter and add it to a mixing bowl with the flour. Rub the butter and flour together with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs. Scrunch in the ground almonds, cinnamon, and the remaining 100g (1/2 cup) sugar to add texture.
  5. Assemble and Bake: Transfer the apples to a 25cm x 30cm (10 x 12 inch) baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and bubbling.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve with your favourite plant-based vanilla custard, cream, or ice cream.

Recipe Tips

  • Choose the right apples: Use a mix of tart apples (like Bramley) and sweet ones to balance the flavors. Bramley apples break down well, giving you a soft texture.
  • Don’t overwork the crumble: When making the crumble topping, avoid over-rubbing the butter and flour. The texture should be crumbly, not smooth.
  • Let the apples cool: After cooking the apples, let them cool slightly before adding the crumble. This prevents the topping from melting into the apples too quickly.
  • Even topping is key: Spread the crumble topping evenly over the apples to ensure it bakes to a golden, crispy texture.
  • Serve immediately: For the best texture and flavor, serve the crumble as soon as it comes out of the oven while the topping is still crispy.

How To Store Leftovers?

  • Refrigerate: Let the leftover apple crumble cool to room temperature. Then, cover it with cling film or foil and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze: Allow the crumble to cool completely, then cover it tightly with foil or plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. To serve, thaw it in the fridge overnight before enjoying it.
