Why blend some of the oats for the crumble topping?

Blending a portion of the oats into a flour helps create a finer, more cohesive texture for the crumble topping, ensuring it coats the fruit layer beautifully.

How do I ensure the fruit layer is soft enough?

Simmer the chopped apples and blackberries with maple syrup, cinnamon, and a little boiling water for about ten minutes, or until the fruit is nicely softened before baking.

Can I adjust the sweetness of this crumble?

Yes, the recipe uses maple syrup in both the topping and fruit layers, allowing you to slightly reduce or increase the amount to suit your preference, especially in the fruit layer.

What role does coconut oil play in the crumble topping?

Coconut oil, when melted and mixed with the oats, maple syrup, and cinnamon, helps bind the dry ingredients together to form the classic crumbly texture of the topping.

How should I store leftover Apple and Blackberry Crumble?

Store any leftover crumble in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It can be gently reheated in the oven or microwave.

How to Prepare Apple and Blackberry Crumble [Vegan]

Start by making the crumble layer. Place 1 cup of the oats in a food processor and blend until a flour has formed, then add this flour to a bowl with rest of the oats.
Next add the coconut oil, maple syrup and cinnamon in a saucepan and heat until the coconut oil has melted and everything has mixed nicely.
Pour this over the oat mixture and stir well until all the dry ingredients are coated with the wet.
Next make the fruit layer. Peel and core the apples, chopping the remaining apple into pieces. Place these in a saucepan along with the blackberries, maple syrup, cinnamon and enough boiling water to just cover the bottom of the pan. Put the lid on the pan and allow it to simmer for around ten minutes, until the fruit is nice and soft.
Preheat oven to 356°F.
Once the fruit is ready transfer it into the bottom of your baking dish and layer the oat topping above it. Then bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
