Notes

Use a vegan butter (like Earth Balance Buttery Spread) not margarine. Margarine often has added or hidden ingredients that aren’t vegan friendly.

Step 1

For the crust, in a food processor, blend almonds and pecans into a fine meal, then add the remaining crust ingredients and blend until well combined. It should stick together when you pinch it.

Step 2

Press into a 9 ½” fluted pie pan with a removable bottom. Poke a few holes in the surface of the crust with a fork and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for about 10 minutes. Time may vary depending on your oven, so watch it closely. It should be half-baked with a slight colour difference.

Step 3

Remove pie crust from the oven and place on a cooling rack while you make the filling and topping.

Step 4

For the filling, peel, core, quarter and thinly slice the apples. Mix apples and filling ingredients together with your hands in a mixing bowl until well coated.

Step 5

For the topping, in another mixing bowl, blend the crumble topping ingredients together with your hands until it comes together into large crumbs.

Step 6

Layer apple slices in the crust and top with the crumble topping evenly. Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes.

Step 7

For the salted caramel, while the tart is baking, combine the ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly for 7 minutes as it thickens. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Allow the baked apple crumble tart to cool for 15 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Just before serving, drizzle some salted caramel over the entire tart with a spoon.
