Ingredients
 

  • 2 apples
  • 1 pear
  • 2 bananas
  • 1 peach or 2 kiwis
  • 1 cup berries I used a mix of raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter cold
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 11x7-inch baking dish.
  • Prepare the fruits. Peel the apples, pears, and bananas. Cut them into 1-inch cubes and transfer them to the baking dish.
    Pit the peach and cut it into 1-inch cubes as well. Transfer the peach and the berries to the baking dish.
  • Make the crumble: Whisk together the flour and sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Cut the cold vegan butter into 1-inch cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Add the vanilla extract if using.
    Using your hands or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour until coarse crumbs form.
  • Transfer 1 cup of the crumbles to the fruits and toss to coat. Arrange the fruits into an even layer.
  • Sprinkle the remaining crumble over the fruits. Try to make large crumbs as well for extra crunchiness. Do not press the crumble topping down.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the crumble topping is golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before serving, or chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours if you prefer to serve it cold.
  • This crumble will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

Notes

Use what you have on hand.

You can use almost any fruit (except citrus fruits). This crumble recipe is a great way to use leftover fruits that are a bit too ripe.

Use cold butter.

For a shortbread texture, make sure you are using cold butter when making the crumble topping.

Add texture.

You can replace 1/4 of the flour with rolled oats for more texture and extra fiber. Feel free to include chopped nuts, such as almonds or hazelnuts, for a hint of nuttiness!
