Ingredients

Crust

½ cup vegan butter, such as Earth Balance
1/3 cup organic cane sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup all purpose flour
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Filling

1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice
2 large apples

Topping

½ cup all purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup of oats
¼ cup pecan pieces
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup vegan butter

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350

1. Starting with the crust, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Fold in the remaining ingredients; this will have a texture of cookie dough.
3. Press dough into a 9×9 baking dish. Pre-bake crust for 15mins or until edges are golden brown. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before adding other layers.
4. While crust bakes prepare filling by peeling and slicing apples and tossing together with remaining ingredients, set aside.
5. To make topping melt the vegan butter. In a separate bowl mix together the rest of the ingredients. Pour over top of dry ingredients and mix until combined.
6. Add apple mixture on top of the cooled crust, spreading out evenly, making sure to add any accumulated juices.
7. Sprinkle topping onto apple mixture, and bake for 20-25mins or until apple layer is bubbly and topping is golden brown.
8. Allow to cool to room temperature before slicing and Enjoy!!!
