Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and have a medium-sized baking dish ready. The dish we used was 10″×8″. You can lightly grease the dish if you’d like but we skipped that and it worked just fine.
2. In a large bowl, mix together all of the ingredients for the apple filling except for the cornstarch. Once everything is uniform, sprinkle over the cornstarch and give it another good mix. Transfer all of the fillings into the baking dish and spread it out as evenly as you can.
3. In the same large bowl, add all of the ingredients for the crumble topping and mix until well combined. It will be crumbly with a granola-like consistency. Evenly distribute the topping over the apples in the baking dish.
4. Place the dish into the oven and bake on the middle rack for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the filling has thickened.
5. Cool for about 10 minutes or until it is easy to handle and serve with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream.
