Crust

- 1/4 cup sugar of choice, or erythritol for sugar free
- 1/4 tsp each: cinnamon and salt
- 1/4 cup oil or vegan butter spread

Filling
- 4 cups peeled apple, sliced thin (400g)
- pinch stevia OR 1 tbsp pure maple syrup, or agave
- optional 1/2 cup raw walnuts, diced small
- optional 1/2 cup raisins
Crumble topping
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup spelt, white, oat, or gf all purpose flour

- 1/4 cup oil, OR 1/4 applesauce for fat-free

Preparation
This recipe calls for an 8-inch springform, but it also works in a 9-inch if you double the entire recipe.
Preheat oven to 350F, line the bottom of an 8-inch springform or removable-bottom tart pan with parchment, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry crust ingredients, then stir in the oil and water to make a dough. Transfer to the prepared pan, press down hard, and bake 12 minutes on the center rack.
Toss the apple and sweetener in a medium bowl, then spread evenly over the baked crust.
In a third bowl, combine all crumble ingredients. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the apples.
Bake 50-60 minutes or until apples are soft and tender.
Allow to cool 20 minutes before removing the springform.
Serve with vegan vanilla ice cream.
