This gluten-free, vegan, healthier apple crumble is made with such nutritious ingredients you can eat it for breakfast, but it’s also scrumptious enough to serve for dessert.

Healthier Apple Crumble

I think this is the easiest crumble ever- after chopping the apples, it can be thrown together in less than 5 minutes. And let me tell you, it is a crowd-pleaser- this crumble didn’t even last a full day in the Lee household!

Healthier Apple Crumble

The best thing about this healthier apple crumble is the ingredient list. From fresh organic apples to wholesome gluten-free rolled oats- there are only eight simple ingredients required. To give the crumble topping a lovely rich flavor, I used MELT® Organic spread rather than oil or butter.

Ingredients

For the apple filling:

  • 5 apples, about 2 pounds, thinly sliced (peel, if desired, but I don't)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup, honey would work, but is not vegan
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 lemon juiced

For the crumble topping:

  • 1 cup rolled oats, use gluten free, if desired
  • 1/2 cup almond meal/flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil or butter, melted

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9-inch pie plate with a natural cooking spray.
  • Combine all filling ingredients in a medium bowl and transfer to pie plate.
  • Combine all crumble topping ingredients in a medium bowl.
  • Sprinkle crumble mixture over the top of apples.
  • Bake for about 40 minutes and until apples are of desired softness. If after 40 minutes, crumble topping is browning, but apples are not soft enough- place tin foil over the crumble and bake another 5-10 minutes.
  • Allow to cool slightly before spooning out.
  • Serve warm and with vanilla ice cream or coconut cream, if desired.

Notes

Best served hot, but leftovers are still great! Try topping with ice cream or whipped cream.
