Vegan Plum And Apple Crisp

I am so excited to share this healthy plum and apple crumble recipe with you! If you want something sweet but don’t have the time to make a cake or any complicated dessert, try this delicious vegan plum and apple crisp.

It’s ridiculously easy to make and all you need is fresh plums, apples, and homemade streusel! This plum crumble is my new favorite dessert because it’s:

• Healthier than most crumble/crisp recipes.
• Quick and easy to make with almost zero effort!
• Vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free.

Only 10 Simple Ingredients

Yes, that’s right! This apple and plum crumble recipe is really simple and contains only the following 10 ingredients:

1. Plums
2. Apples
3. Coconut sugar or your favorite granulated sweetener
4. Cornstarch, arrowroot flour
5. Cinnamon
6. Vanilla extract
7. Oat flour
8. Almond flour (ground almonds)
9. Tapioca flour or arrowroot flour
10. Coconut oil or melted nut butter of choice

Sweetener: You can use coconut sugar, brown sugar, Erythritol, Xylitol. Stevia might work as well.

Oat flour: I always make my own oat flour. All you need is oats (regular or certified gluten-free oats) and a blender or electric coffee/spice grinder. Process the oats until you have flour. Easy!

Almond flour is 100% finely ground blanched almonds, nothing else. You can use almond meal (also 100% ground almonds, however, with the peel) or any other finely ground nuts of choice. Some examples would be ground hazelnuts, ground cashews, etc.

You can use melted nut butter (almond butter, cashew butter, coconut butter, etc.) instead of coconut oil.

How To Make Plum And Apple Crumble?

This recipe is seriously so easy and you don’t even need a food processor to make the crumble/streusel:

• Slice apples and plums and add them to a large bowl. No need to peel the apples (but you can peel them if you prefer).
• Add the granulated sweetener, cinnamon, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
• To make the streusel, simply add all dry ingredients to a medium-sized bowl.
• Add coconut oil and vanilla extract and mix everything with your clean hands until the mixture is crumbly.
• Transfer the fruit mixture to a baking pan and add the crumble/streusel on top.
• Bake in the oven until slightly golden brown and bubbly. And that’s it!

I told you it’s going to be very easy! 🙂
