Vegan Berry Crumble

Dear minions!

I bring to you this day an awesome berry crumble recipe that happened by happy accident when I had a bunch of fruit that was about to go bad and a deficit of butter but a surplus of coconut oil. I had never made a crumble before but thought, "how hard can it really be? ”.

So I bring you this easy, organic, as local as can be sourced, vegan crumble recipe! The first time I made this I added a little bit of flour but in the interest of all my celiac lovelies I've omitted it, making it gluten free! Just be sure if you are claiming it as gluten free that you pay particular attention and get OATS THAT SPECIFY THEY ARE GLUTEN FREE!!!!! I can't stress that enough!

Ingredients:

Filling

2- 170g (6oz) packages organic blueberries, or  roughly 2 cups fresh picked/frozen local blueberries

1- 454g (16oz) package organic strawberries slices, or roughly 2 cups fresh picked/frozen local strawberries sliced

7 medium organic/local apples (any type you like), peeled, cored and sliced ( I peel my apples with a knife and then just roughly slice the flesh off until I get really close to the core, wow that was a morbid way to put it lol)

Cinnamon and brown sugar to taste

Crumble

3/4 cups organic virgin cold pressed coconut oil

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 tbls cinnamon

2 cups organic rolled oats ( gluten free if that's what you're after), 1 cup to be mixed with the coconut oil, sugar and cinnamon and 1 cup that gets sprinkled over the top.

Cinnamon and extra brown sugar for sprinkling

Directions:
Wash all your berries, slice strawberries, peel and slice apples and mix in a 9"x12" glass casserole dish, sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar over mixed fruit to your taste preferences, I like mine not too sweet so I don't add a ton of sugar.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Next combine coconut oil, 1/2 cup brown sugar,  1 tbls cinnamon and 1 cup of rolled oats and with a fork mix together into a uniform "paste like"consistency. Crumble this mixture over the berries then cover over crumble and exposed berries with the extra cup of oats.

Place everything into the preheated oven. I bake it for about 30 minutes then remove it and sprinkle a little more cinnamon and a touch more brown sugar and continue to bake for another 30-45 minutes or until filling is bubbling and the top is slightly browned.

Then let it cool a bit and enjoy!!

Depending on the type of oven you have and the type of apples you use cooking times can vary, bubbling juices is the best way to gauge doneness in my experience!

Viola! A local/organic/gluten free dish for your next Sabbat celebration, summer pot luck, dinner party or Sunday dinner, lovely :)

Until next time darlings.........

Keep kreepin'!
