I’ve been working on making a good apple crumble recipe for a while and I think I finally nailed it!

I love a good apple crumble because it is such a great dish to use up soggy, wrinkly, or bruised apples. Let’s not waste imperfect fruit guys!

Recipe tips

• VEGAN – This crumble is very easily made vegan by simply replacing regular butter with vegan butter. Check out my product review post about different vegan butters here.
• APPLE PEEL – Don’t be afraid of apple peels! They’re full of nutrition and delicious so keep it on.
• APPLE CORES – I’m trying to make apple scrap vinegar with the leftover cores for the first time. I’ll let you know how it goes in a few weeks. If you’re not feeling up to it, you can also compost the cores or try making apple core tea!
• OTHER FRUIT – This recipe is great to use up any other unattractive, leftover, frozen or soggy fruit. I usually throw in the orange pulp that I freeze after I make orange juice.
