Apple crumble is my favorite dessert. It always reminds me of a breezy summer night under the stars, surrounded by family. This dessert also moves with the seasons, perfect for fall when apple picking season is at its height and a comforting winter dessert to celebrate the holiday season. My father is the best at making apple crisps and who I got my love of baking from. I’ve tried many different variations, but this one that we made recently together is my new favorite. Crisp, gooey, sweet, and delicious, plus it is gluten free and dairy free. Make this your plant based friendly go to dessert that everyone can enjoy.
