Vegan Apple Crumble with a Spiced Oat Topping

This vegan apple crumble is the perfect way to enjoy the flavors of fall. The apples are tossed in a mixture of lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar, and then topped with a crunchy oat topping. The crumble is baked until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.

Apple crumble is a classic dessert that can be traced back to the Middle Ages. The first apple crumbles were made with bread crumbs, but oats eventually became the more popular topping. In the 19th century, apple crumble became a popular dish in the United States, and it has been a staple of American cuisine ever since. This vegan apple crumble recipe is a modern take on the classic dessert. It uses a combination of rolled oats and whole wheat flour to create a crunchy topping, and it is sweetened with sugar instead of white sugar. The result is a delicious and healthy dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
