Equipment

Blender or food processor
8-inch baking dish

Ingredients

For the apple layer:

4 cups peeled and chopped raw apples
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the crumble topping:

1/3 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup pecans
1/4 cup solid coconut oil
3 tablespoons coconut sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add the apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl and mix well.
Add the coconut flour, pecans, coconut oil, coconut sugar, lemon zest, and salt to a food processor or blender.
Process with several quick on/off pulses to combine all the ingredients.
Spoon the apple mixture into an 8-inch baking dish, then spread the crumble mixture evenly on top of the apple mixture.
Bake for 40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.

Notes

You can substitute your preferred oil for the coconut oil in this vegan crumble.
Any type of apple will do, but my personal favorite is Golden Delicious.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
If you’re making this for a crowd, you can double the recipe and use a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
