Winter Warmers: Apple & Berry Vegan Gluten Free Crumble
It can be a royal pain in the arse to find recipes that are both vegan and gluten free (never mind trying to eat out!)
Vegan recipes can sometimes have a rep for not tasting as good as the "real" thing - but this recipe of mine tastes fantastic if I do say myself!
Jade's Crumble
INGREDIENTS:
SERVES 6
200g Gluten Free Plain Flour (or normal!)
100g Vegan Butter or Spread (or regular dairy works fine too)
125g of sugar - in two bowls... I x 75g & 1 x 50g
Cinnamon
Gluten Free Oats (or normal!)
* Note... this makes quite a lot of crumble - I like an equal topping to crumble ratio. If you don't reduce the quantity or make 2 crumbles!*
Your fruit - I use 3-4 medium Bramley Apples (choped into chunks) & I had some foraged Blackberries leftover so put these in too. You can also use frozen berries or whatever you've got.
HOW TO:
Heat your oven up to 180 degrees (fan oven) /Gas Mark 6
Make your Crumble topping
Pop the flour, & butter into a bowl & rub together until it looks like crumbs.
Stir in the 50g bowl of sugar
Set aside
Peel & chunk your apples - pop them in your dish. If you're adding berries, mix those in to and make sure they are well distributed throughout.
Sprinkle the remaining bowl of sugar over the fruit. It wants to be spread evenly & you might have some left over.
Sprinkle a generous heap of cinnamon over the sugar.
Pop the crumble topping on top of the fruit. I like to pat it down so it goes nice and crunchy.
Chuck a handful of oats on top for added crunch & finish with another sprinkle of cinnamon.
In the oven for 45-50 mins. It should be pulling away at the edges, a little marking round the edge where the fruit has bubbled up & should sound sizzly!
Serve with vegan cream (my choice), Salted Caramel Ice Cream (vegan version or regular), Custard or on it's own.
Enjoy!
