Ingredients 

Apple

  • 7 apples I used a mixture of Granny Smith and Royal Gala, peeled, cored and cut into wedges (12)
  • ½ cup 125 ml maple syrup
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 1 tablespoon 20ml arrowroot flour 
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom 
  • ½ ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon 20ml brown sugar
  • pinch sea salt
  • a handful of sultanas optionalOatmeal Pecan Crumble
  • ½ cup rolled oats gluten free if required
  • ¼ cup 45 grams raw or brown sugar 
  • cup 50grams teff or regular flour 
  • ¼ cup 20 grams shredded or desiccated coconut
  • cup 40 grams pecans 
  • ¼ cup 35 grams pumpkin seeds
  • ¼ cup 35 grams sunflower seeds
  • cup 80 grams vegan butter or coconut oil, cold

Instructions

  • To make the crumble, combine the flour, sugar, oats, coconut, cinnamon and cardamom in a food processor and pulse briefly to combine.
  • Add the pecans and seeds and pulse again to break up.
  • Tip the mixture in to a bowl and rub the cold butter in with your fingertips until large crumbs form and the butter is throughout. Set aside.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees C (355 F)
  • Combine the apple mixture ingredients in a large bowl and stir to coat the apple.
  • Pour the apple and the syrup in to a large pie pan or cast iron skillet.
  • Spoon the crumble mixture over the top making sure to cover the apple as much as possible. 
  • Bake in the oven for 35 minutes. If the crumble is browning too quickly, fix kitchen foil over the top and continue cooking. 
  • Turn the oven off and leave the crumble inside for another 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and serve either warm or room temperature with vegan ice-cream or coconut yoghurt.

Notes

Teff flour is another gluten-free flour that can be used in this recipe. 
Coconut flour can also be used for this recipe. Reduce the amount to a ¼ cup and add ¼ cup of water to the apple mixture. Coconut flour absorbs liquid so more liquid is required. 
For a more caramel style crumble, replace the maple syrup with unprocessed brown sugar.
