Apple crumble is a classic comfort food, and this vegan version is just as delicious as the traditional one. The apples are tender and juicy, the topping is crispy and crumbly, and the whole thing is flavored with warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. This crumble is perfect for a fall dessert, but it can be enjoyed all year round.
The apple crumble is a classic dessert that has been enjoyed for centuries. The first known recipe for apple crumble was published in 1864, and it quickly became a popular dish in both England and the United States. The crumble is made with a layer of sliced apples that are topped with a mixture of flour, sugar, and butter. The crumble is then baked until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
There are many different variations on the classic apple crumble recipe. Some people like to add nuts or raisins to the filling, while others prefer to use a different type of fruit, such as peaches or berries. The crumble topping can also be made with different ingredients, such as oats, granola, or even crushed graham crackers.
No matter what variation you choose, the apple crumble is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.

Why It Works
The apples are peeled and sliced thinly, so they cook evenly and quickly.
The vegan butter is cold when it is added to the topping, so it creates a crumbly texture.
The brown sugar adds sweetness and depth of flavor.
The flour and oats help to thicken the topping and give it a crispy texture.
