Cook's notes

  • Use crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture that holds up during baking.
  • Ensure your vegan butter is cold before cutting it into the flour mixture to achieve the perfect crumbly topping.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of dairy-free vanilla bean ice cream for an elevated dessert experience.

Easy swaps

  • Gluten-free: Use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend in place of standard all-purpose flour.
  • Sweetener: Substitute the cane sugar with coconut sugar for a deeper, caramel-like flavor.
  • Nutty Crunch: Add a tablespoon of chopped walnuts or pecans to the topping for extra protein and crunch.
