Crumb Topping Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ Cups Gluten Free Flour (I used 1 Cup King Arthur Brand & ½ Cup Cassava Flour)
  • ½ Cup Gluten Free Rolled Oats
  • ½ teaspoon Xanthan Gum
  • ¾ Cup Coconut Sugar
  • 1/3 Cup Monk Fruit Sugar
  • 1 TBSP Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon Nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • ¾ Cup + 2 TBSP Vegan Butter (or Ghee) Melted
  • 4 TBSP Water

Apple Filling Ingredients:

  • 7 Apples or 3 lbs. Organic Apples – I did mix of Honeycrisp and Granny Smith – Peeled/Cored/Sliced into 1/4” Thick Pieces
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/3 Cup + 2 TBSP Coconut Sugar

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Grease 13X9 baking dish (I used stoneware) and coated with vegan butter.
  3. For crumb topping, add flour, oats, Xanthan gum, both sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Whisk together until smooth and no lumps.
  4. Add vanilla & butter to mixture, mixing until combined. Add Water 1 TBSP at a time – may not need all 4 depending on thickness. You want texture to be formed and not too loose. Refrigerate while preparing apple mixture.
  5. In large bowl, add apples, cinnamon and sugar. Mix until completely combined. Pour into bottom of pan spreading out evenly.
  6. Add crumbs to top of apples – breaking apart and evenly distributing – crumble with hands. Press down lightly so firmly touching the apples.
  7. Cover with foil and bake 25 minutes. Then remove foil and back another 20-25 minutes until golden brown and apples pass fork tender test. Remove from oven.
  8. Optional: Top with vegan vanilla ice cream.
