Equipment

Baking dish
2 Medium Bowls
1 Sharp knife
1 Wooden spoon

Ingredients

Filling

6 - 7 cups peeled, cored, and diced apples
½ cup brown sugar, packed
¼ cup plant-based butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Streusel Topping

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup brown sugar, packed
⅓ cup granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons plant-based butter, melted

Instructions

Step One: Preheat and Prepare
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and take out a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2. Begin by peeling, coring, and slicing approximately 6-7 cups of fresh apples
Step Two: Prepare the Filling
1. In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, plant-based butter, flour, and a pinch of salt. Mix these ingredients thoroughly until they form a smooth mixture.
2. Add the sliced apples to the bowl and toss them well to ensure an even coating. Set this apple filling aside.
Step Three: Create the Streusel Topping
1. Whisk together flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a separate medium-sized bowl.
2. Pour the melted butter into the dry mixture and stir it in using a wooden spoon to create the topping.
Step Four: Assemble and Bake
1. Evenly spread the apple filling in your prepared baking dish.
2. Sprinkle the thick streusel crumble mixture over the top of the apples, ensuring an even distribution.
3. Place the dish into the oven and bake for approximately 40 to 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Test the apples' tenderness with a fork – if it easily pierces through, they're ready.
4. Once done, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. For a delightful treat, serve the vegan apple crumble warm, accompanied by vegan vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
