Vegan Apple Crumble

Apple crumble is one of those timeless desserts that always feels like a hug in a bowl. Sweet apples spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg bubble away under a golden, crunchy oat topping until your kitchen smells like pure comfort. This vegan version keeps everything you love about the classic – the warm fruit, the crisp topping – but leaves out the dairy.

It’s a dessert that works year-round. In autumn, it celebrates seasonal apples. In summer, it pairs beautifully with a scoop of cold vegan ice cream. It’s simple enough for weeknights yet special enough for Sunday lunch.
