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.
