The Autumn Apple Crumble recipe is perfect for heating up on cold evenings, or eating straight out of the fridge after storing! It is vegan, gluten-free, and a good source of protein. Most importantly, it’s delicious! I used generous servings of fall spices and flavors to make it sweet and satisfying.

This recipe has plant-based protein from:

  • hemp seeds= 9.5 grams of protein per serving
  • pumpkin seeds (also known as pepitas) = 6 grams of protein per serving
  • coconut flour= 12 grams of protein per serving

Conveniently, these ingredients are also gluten-free. If you don’t want to make a GF version, simply sub the coconut flour for regular flour and replace millet with dry old-fashioned oats.

What pan should I use for the Autumn Apple Crumble?

I used a 9-inch square cake pan in this recipe, but you could either adjust the recipe to make more servings if you’re using a larger pan or make “personal” size crumbles by reducing the recipe by a fourth. If you don’t have a non-stick pan, line your pan with parchment paper or spray with oil.

Ingredients

  • Apple layer ingredients
  • 5 cups apples, washed and cubed

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon caramel

  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice

  • Crumble layer ingredients
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds

  • 1/4 cup millet

  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds

  • 1/4 cup vegan butter, melted

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

  • pinch of salt

Directions

  • Wash and cube apples, then place in non-stick pan. Add brown sugar, coconut flour, caramel, cinnamon and lemon juice.
  • Toss apple layer ingredients together so that they are evenly coated. Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • Prepare the crumble layer by mixing coconut flour, sugar, pumpkin seeds, millet and 1/4 hemp seeds with a large spoon or stand mixer.
  • Add melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. The crumble should form a dough-y, piece-y mixture.
  • Gently spread the crumble layer on top of the apple layer. Squeeze your hands while the mixture is in your hands so it clumps together slightly.
  • Bake for 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the apple layer is cooked through and bubbling. Let it cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
  • Best served with dairy-free ice cream or vegan whipped cream.
