Vegan Apple Cake with Crumble Topping
A moist apple cake with a crunchy crumble topping that contains no refined sugar. Oat flour, ground almonds, and applesauce form the base, while fresh apples and cinnamon add a fruity, spicy flavor. This vegan cake is easy to make and perfect as a dessert or a sweet treat between meals.
Ingredients
Dough and Crumb Topping
- 200 g oat flour plus 2 to 3 tbsp for the crumb topping
- 150 g finely ground almonds
- 180 g apple puree (100% apple); increase to 200 g if needed
- 60 g erythritol
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 pinch of salt
Filling
- 2 large apples (about 370 g), finely diced
- 100 g apple puree
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C (top and bottom heat); line a springform pan (approx. 20 cm) with parchment paper or grease it well.
- Knead all the dough ingredients together until the dough is easy to shape. Set aside about a quarter of it.
- Press the remaining dough firmly into the bottom and sides of the pan and pre-bake for 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the diced apples with the applesauce and cinnamon. Grate the reserved dough with 2 to 3 tablespoons of oat flour to make crumble topping. Optionally, add more sweetener. (For extra crunch, you can also add a little fat, such as melted coconut oil.)
- Spread the filling over the pre-baked crust, sprinkle the crumble topping on top, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown.
- Let cool completely, preferably for 1 to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
