Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 170°C (338°F) with the fan setting.
Prepare the Fruit: Wash and chop 1.4 kg of apples into bite-sized pieces. Wash and cut 400g of rhubarb into 2 cm pieces.
Stew the Fruit: Combine the chopped apples, rhubarb, 8 tbsp water, 2 tbsp maple syrup (or brown sugar), and 2 tsp cinnamon in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, then cover with a lid, reduce the heat, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the fruit is tender but still holds its shape, stirring occasionally.
Prepare Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together 150g oats, 100g ground almonds, 3 tbsp each of pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds, and 30g desiccated coconut. Melt 100g plant-based butter or coconut oil and allow it to cool slightly, then mix into the dry ingredients along with 90g brown sugar or coconut sugar until well combined.
Assemble the Crumble: Transfer the stewed fruit into the ovenproof dish, spreading it out evenly. Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the fruit.
Bake the Crumble: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the topping is golden and the fruit is bubbling.
Serve: Best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vegan double cream or vegan vanilla ice cream.
