I love the marriage of apples and plums and this gluten-free and vegan crumble ticks all the boxes for us!
Give me crumble and I’m happy. I actually learnt to make this during my GCSEs and baked as a stress-reliever.
Quick, easy to make with little fingers that love creating the crumble effect, this is perfect comfort food without the guilt! Enjoy!
Ingredients:
Serves 6
- 3 large apples, cored, thinly sliced length-ways
- 6 large red plums, stoned
- water
- 125g gluten-free flour
- 80g oats
- 100g brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 240ml coconut oil
- coconut oil for greasing
Method:
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Grease a medium ovenproof dish with 1 tbsp coconut oil. Set aside.
In a medium pan place the apples and plums covered with some water, syrup and cinnamon. Cook for 6 minutes until caramelised.
Place in the greased dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, sugar, coconut oil or vegan margrine and form a crumble mixing the oil/vegan butter evenly into the ingredients to create small clumps.
Scatter mixture over apple and plum base covering fully.
Bake in the oven for 35 minutes until golden brown or crispy.
Dust with remaining cinnamon.
Set aside to cool for 5 minutes then serve.
Wow!

Thanks very much, enjoy!
This looks gorgeous as always honey, plus it’s practically health food, yes?! xx
Totally is Sarah, thanks x
I didn’t even know you could make a wheat free crumble! Plus, I didn’t know you did a recipe linky, i will try and join in in future x
Oh how fab, thanks Donna, would love you to link up-this one is open all week then another starts again next week x
Love the healthier take on this, sounds scrumptious!
a crumble is such a classic winter warmer – proper comfort food and i would love this served with custard or ice cream x
Sounds amazing and perfect for this time of year. I should really start trying those use honey in place of sugar more
I love crumbles and this sounds really delicious. Thanks for hosting
Love this recipe. It sounds so delicious. If you are trying to stay away from refined sugar you should try coconut sugar. I use it now as a treat is desserts and its really delicious.
Looks absolutely delsih! Apple and plums are my favourite crumble combo, so I’ll definitely be trying this one!
A perfect autumnal pud! Yum! I must try raw coconut oil, I still have not got round to it, but i’ve seen it in a few recipes and it sounds yummy!
I love an autumn crumble, and I love the gluten free option with coconut oil and dessicated coconut
We are linked up 🙂
I love crumble but cannot eat wheat or gluten with my diet 🙁 this looks delicious, I made a free from crumble at the weekend using a free from muesli as a topping x
Love the fact you’ve added coconut to the crumble, I’m going through a bit of a coconut phase at the moment and I’m sneaking it into all sorts (probably a few things I shouldn’t).In fact I’ve got so tropical cookies in the oven at the moment.
I’m obsessed, use another jar as a moisturiser too! x
YUM. I love oat crumbles! I’ve never tried wheat free oats, do you find them any different to bake with regular oats?
…All linked up with some more fudge! Haha… Going to have to start eating a few less, and giving a few more away!
I don’t find that different just know a lot of readers with allergies or preferences prefer them!
Ooh, yummy. I will have to try this as I think I need to take a break from wheat.
I feel so much better now I’ve eradicated it chick x
Love a crumble, this sounds lovely and perfectly autumnal xx
Thanks darling x
Mmm, I love plums, I really must cook with them more often! x
So tangy and sweet, perfect for crumbles x
Love crumble, not had it for ages. I must make some now!
Glad I’ve inspired you to make it again x
Yum, we love crumbles in our house. I’ve been wanting to start cooking with coconut oil, will have to try this one! x Dre
It’s such a great oil x
Yummy. Great to find another thing to use my coconut oil for. I got a load from Costco but other than frying can’t think what to do with it, ha!
It’s perfect for this and great as a moisturiser too x
This looks delish! I also cook without wheat, and have a jar of coconut oil that I have been neglecting for a while now. Beautiful photography too! Crumbles are my go to easy desserts for this time of year, perfect for serving after a roast. I will be sure to try this recipe out! x
Thanks, ooh you must make this, so quick and easy aren’t they x
Looks fab hon, nice to see low sugar recipes xx
Thanks lovely x
