How do I ensure my oat crust is firm enough for this tart?

Toast the oats first, then blend them with the soaked dates, maple syrup, peanut butter, and melted coconut oil until the mixture is quite sticky before pressing it firmly into your tart tin.

Can I use fresh cherries instead of dried cherries or sultanas in the apple filling?

The recipe specifies dried cherries or sultanas, which will soften and integrate well during the simmering process, adding a concentrated sweetness. Fresh cherries might alter the texture and moisture content.

What's the best way to get the crumble topping to stick?

After toasting the oats and flaked almonds, mix in the coconut sugar, cinnamon, peanut butter, and maple syrup. The peanut butter and maple syrup will make the crumble quite sticky, allowing it to adhere well to the fruit filling.

How long does this No-Bake Spiced Apple Crumble and Peanut Butter Tart need to chill before serving?

The recipe indicates chilling the crust while making the filling, and then chilling the entire tart in the fridge until needed, which allows it to set properly before removing from the tin and cutting.

Can I prepare this tart ahead of time?

Yes, this tart is designed to be chilled until needed, making it an excellent make-ahead dessert. Store it in the fridge until ready to serve.

How to Prepare No-Bake Spiced Apple Crumble and Peanut Butter Tart [Vegan]

First make the case. Toast the oats for 5 minutes until lightly golden.
Place everything in a blender and pulse well until the mixture is quite sticky and comes together, like a flapjack mixture.
Press into the tin to cover the base and up the sides. Chill while you make the filling.
Place the apples in a pan with some water and the coconut sugar, cinnamon and dried cherries/sultanas. Simmer for 20 minutes until softened.
Spoon this into the case and fill to just the top.
Toast the oats and flaked almonds for 5 minutes until they turn golden, then mix in everything else – it should be quite sticky. Scatter this over the top to cover the fruit.
Chill in the fridge until needed. When ready to serve, remove from the tin and cut into pieces. Enjoy!
