Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1/2 cup Earth Balance vegan butter room temp
  • 1/4 cup cane sugar
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
Filling
  • 5 SnapDragon apples
  • 1/4 cup oat flour
  • 1/8 cup cane sugar
Topping
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup cane sugar
  • 2/3 cup Earth Balance vegan butter
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • pinch salt

Equipment

  • Mixer, hand or stand

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F
Crust
  1. Add the crust ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer (or large bowl and use a hand mixer)
  2. Mix for 3-4 minutes until sugar and butter are combined well and a dough has formed
  3. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of a parchment or tinfoil lined 8x8 pan. Bake uncovered for 12-14 minutes
Filling
  1. While the crust is baking, wash and peel the apples
  2. Dice the apples into small cubes (by hand or with a chopper) and place into a large bowl
  3. Add flour and sugar to the bowl. Mix well to coat all of the apples with the flour and sugar mixture. Set aside
Topping
  1. Add all of the topping ingredients to the stand mixer bowl except for the "butter"
  2. Mix on a medium speed and add in "butter" in small increments. You will have to stop the mixer occasionally to scrape the sides of the bowl.
  3. Once all of the "butter" is in the bowl, stop the mixer and start to mix the topping with your hands until well combined and crumbly
Assembly
  1. Pour and evenly spread the apple mixture onto the baked crust
  2. Press the apples gently down into the crust
  3. Using your hands, spread the topping mixture onto the apple layer, crumbling it through your fingers
  4. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes
  5. Serve immediately, or store in an air tight container for approximately one week. Enjoy!
