Ingredients
Scale
Apple Blueberry Filling
- 3 cups blueberries
- 2 medium apples peeled, cored and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Crumble Topping
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegan butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and lightly spray a 9-inch pie pan or 2-quart baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the fruit filling: In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, sliced apples, granulated sugar, lemon juice, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Gently stir until all the fruit is coated evenly with the mixture.
- Transfer the filling: Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish and set aside to prepare the topping.
- Make the crumble topping: In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the melted vegan butter and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly with some larger chunks.
- Top the fruit: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit. Use your hands to create some larger clusters for a more textured topping.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. The fruit filling should be bubbling around the edges.
- Serve: Let the crumble cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy it with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
Notes
- Frozen blueberries can be used if fresh ones are unavailable; no need to thaw before using.
- Feel free to substitute apples with other fruits like strawberries, peaches, or pears for variation.
- For a gluten free version, use gluten free all purpose flour and certified gluten free oats.
- Coconut oil can be used instead of vegan butter to keep the recipe dairy-free and add a subtle coconut flavor.
- Adjust the sugar quantity based on your sweetness preference; use 1/4 cup sugar for a less sweet crumble.
