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
- Starting with the crust, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Fold in the remaining ingredients; this will have a texture of cookie dough.
- 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.
- While crust bakes prepare filling by peeling and slicing apples and tossing together with remaining ingredients, set aside.
- 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.
- Add apple mixture on top of the cooled crust, spreading out evenly, making sure to add any accumulated juices.
- Sprinkle topping onto apple mixture, and bake for 20-25mins or until apple layer is bubbly and topping is golden brown.
- Allow to cool to room temperature before slicing and Enjoy!!!
