Vegan Apple Crumble Bars
Ingredients
- 1/2 – 1 cup water
- 2 cups wholewheat flour
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 300g pitted dates
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 2/3 coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional) ?directions:
- stir the ground almonds into the mixture
Preparation
Whizz the apples and 1/2 cup of water in a blender until you’ve got a thick apple sauce
Set this aside
Whizz the dates, vanilla essence and 3 tbsp water in a food processor until you have a date paste
Place the date paste into a bowl
Give the food processor a quick rinse and dry, then place the flour, oats and almonds inside
Pulse this combination a few times until the almonds have been very roughly chopped
Add the cinnamon and the oats mixture to the date paste and use the rubbing method to make the crumble: rub the date paste into the dry ingredients, letting it fall through your fingers as you rub, until it resembles a crumble topping
Stir the ground almonds into the mixture
Add the brown sugar (if using) and the coconut oil and rub again
Add more oil if necessary
The crumble stick together when pressed but should be mostly crumbly
Press half the mixture into an square tin (lined with baking parchment) and press down evenly
Top with the apple sauce
Top with the rest of the crumble mix, and set in the fridge for at least an hour
Cut into squares and enjoy!
