This apple and plum crumble is warm, cozy, comforting, super simple, and made with a naturally gluten-free, almond-based streusel topping for a diet-friendly, healthy plum crisp perfect for mid-week meals and special occasions! The crumble recipe is vegan (egg-free, dairy-free) & optionally sugar-free and oil-free!
I recommend using a kitchen scale for this recipe. You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.
First, preheat the oven to 360 °F/180 °C, and rinse and chop the apples and plums into slices about 1/3 to 1/2-inch thick (I slice the apple slices in half too). Then, transfer them to a large bowl.
Add the granulated sweetener, cornstarch, vanilla, and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
Then, pour the apple plum mixture into a baking dish (a 9x13 or 8x8-inch dish works well).
Next, prepare the crumble topping by combining all the dry ingredients in a medium bowl and stirring to combine. Then add the oil and vanilla and mix with your hands to create a crumb/ clumps consistency.If the streusel is a little dry, you may need a little more oil (just a teaspoon at a time).
Finally, sprinkle the almond crumble over the fruit and bake it for about 35 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling, and the top is a golden brown color. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving, then enjoy!
Notes
Almond flour: You can use ground nuts/seeds of choice instead of almond flour.
I did not peel the apples, but you can peel them if you prefer.
