Apricot Crumble (Vegan & Gluten-free)

This version of Apricot Crumble is vegan and gluten-free. It’s an easy and delicious dessert you can make with only a few basic ingredients.

You may have noticed that I don’t make a ton of desserts.

It’s not that I don’t enjoy sweets. I actually really like things like ice cream, cake, and key lime pie from time to time. But I have never been much of a baker.

Baking is a lot more scientific than cooking. When you cook, you can throw things together, a little of this, a pinch of that, and what you’re making will usually turn out great. But with baking, precise measuring and temperatures are a big factor. And it’s not something I tend to enjoy.

But I am so happy that I figured out how to make Apricot Crumble!

And I’m even more excited to share this easy vegan and gluten-free recipe with you.

Because everyone should be able to enjoy an easy-to-make delicious dessert like Apricot Crumble every now and then!

And when I say it’s easy, it really is.

All you need are a few ingredients, two bowls, a regular old fork or spoon for mixing, and a baking dish.

Then you can have a fresh seasonal dessert for four in under and hour!

I particularly like Apricot Crumble topped with a scoop of vanilla non-dairy ice cream.

But what if you have other stone fruit on hand other than apricots? You can use this same recipe to make crumble (sometimes referred to as cobbler) with other fruit such as plums, peaches, and nectarines.

I like to let the crumble sit for about 10 minutes after taking it out of the oven before serving. I wouldn’t want anyone to burn their mouth on some molten fruit!

I just love how the ice cream melts a little over the warm crumble.

If you have leftovers, you can either enjoy them straight out of the refrigerator, or pop them in the microwave to reheat.
