Ingredients
Scale
Apple Blueberry Filling
- 3 cups blueberries
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or 1/4 cup for less sweet)
- 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
- Prepare Oven and Dish: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly spray a 9-inch pie pan or 2-quart baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Fruit Filling: In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, sliced apples, sugar, fresh lemon juice, flour, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir gently until all the fruit is evenly coated with the mixture.
- Transfer Filling: Pour the prepared fruit mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Make Crumble Topping: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted vegan butter and stir just until crumbly and combined.
- Assemble Crumble: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit filling. Use your hands to form some larger chunks within the topping for delicious clusters after baking.
- Bake the Crumble: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is tender and bubbling at the sides.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Frozen blueberries can be used if fresh are unavailable; adjust baking time slightly if needed.
- Substitute apples with other fruits like strawberries, peaches, or pears for variety.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free all-purpose flour and certified gluten-free oats.
- Coconut oil can replace vegan butter in the crumble topping for a different flavor.
