Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 12 ounces chopped apples (about 3 small)
- Juice of ½ a small lemon
- ⅓ cup whole rolled oats
- ⅓ cup chopped walnuts
- ¼ cup flour (whole wheat, spelt or oat flour)
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons butter, vegan butter, or hardened coconut oil
- ¼ cup dried tart cherries or cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° F and grease an 8x8 round pie pan, or similar sized dish.
- In a medium bowl, toss the chopped apples with a big squeeze of lemon.
- In a small bowl, mix together the oats, walnuts, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt.
- Cut your butter (or hardened coconut oil) into a few small pieces and add to the crumble. Use your hands to smush it with the dry crumble topping - stop when it’s incorporated but still crumbly. (If you overmix it and it becomes mushy, add a bit more flour, if it's too dry, add a little more butter/oil.)
- Mix the apples and dried tart cherries with ½ the crumble and place into the baking dish. Sprinkle the rest of the crumble on top.
- Bake, covered, for 25 minutes, then uncover and bake 15-20 more minutes until the apples are soft and the crumble is golden brown.
- Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. Serve with scoops of ice cream.
