Instructions

TO MAKE THE FILLING:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a medium baking dish (or mini cocottes) with vegan butter.
In a large bowl, add the sliced apples, plums, maple syrup, arrowroot, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, cloves, salt, and vanilla, stirring everything together until combined and the apples are completely coated. Set aside.

TO MAKE THE CRUMBLE TOPPING:

In a bowl, add the flour, oats, brown sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon, stirring until combined. Add the partially melted butter and using a spatula, mix until combined and 'crumbly-like'.

ASSEMBLY:

Spoon the coated apple-plum filling into the bottom of your greased standard square baking dish or evenly in mini cocottes and top with topping mixture. Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until apple filling becomes bubbly and topping is golden brown.
Once fully baked, remove from oven and let it cool for 5 minutes or so. Serve warm and enjoy with a scoop of your favorite dairy-free ice cream or Cocowhip!
Bon Appetit!

Notes
