Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 medium, peeled and diced Apples
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, and brown sugar. Add melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt, mixing until well combined to form a crumbly texture.
Reserve 1 cup of the oat mixture for the topping and press the remaining mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
In another bowl, combine the peeled and diced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss until the apple pieces are evenly coated.
Spread the apple mixture evenly over the bottom crust in the baking pan.
Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the apples, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Remove from the oven and allow the crumble squares to cool completely in the pan to set before slicing.
Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy these vegan apple crumble squares warm or at room temperature.
