RECIPE TIPS FOR CARAMEL APPLE CRUMBLE
Choose your favorite apples: My favorite apples for this dish are honey crisp, but you can use any apples in this recipe. You can even do half and half and combine two varieties.
Swap the pecans: If you’re not a fan of pecans or want to switch things up, feel free to swap the pecans for another variety. Try walnuts, almonds, cashews, or hazelnuts instead.
Make it nut-free: To make this recipe nut-free, skip the pecans. It’s that simple!
Make sure to use juicy fresh dates. Be sure to pick out some juicy dates. You can soak them in boiling water for 15 minutes if they are not fresh.
Can I make this without oil? The oil is needed in this recipe. However, you can swap coconut oil for olive oil for a heart-healthier option.
For serving: Serve your crumble with vegan ice cream for a dessert option or with vegan yogurt for a healthier breakfast option.
