Ingredients
  

For the crust:

  • 1 cup spelt flour*
  • teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ Tablespoon sugar
  • cup cold vegan buttery spread
  • 3-4 Tablespoons cold water

For the filling:

  • 4 Ambrosia apples peeled and thinly sliced**
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
  • teaspoon ginger

For the crumble topping:

  • ½ cup spelt flour*
  • 1 cup certified gluten free oats
  • cup light brown sugar
  • teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 6 Tablespoons vegan buttery spread cut into small chunks

Instructions
 

  • Make the crust: In a large bowl, combine the spelt flour, salt, and sugar. Add the buttery spread and mix using a pastry cutter.
  • Add the cold water a little bit at a time and mix until the dough just comes together.
  • Flatten the dough into a disk and wrap with plastic wrap. Place dough in the freezer for one hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line a surface with wax paper and sprinkle flour on top. Flour the rolling pin as well. Roll out the dough into a 16 inch circle if you are using a 12 inch tart pan. You can adjust the size of your dough to fit the pan you have.
  • Put the dough into the tart pan and press it into the sides, removing any excess. Prick the bottom all over with a fork, then bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
  • While the tart bakes, combine the Ambrosia apples with the cinnamon, ginger, and sugar and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, place the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon and mix together. Add the vegan buttery spread and mix using a pastry cutter until the mixture becomes a crumb topping.
  • Remove the crust from the oven and fill with the apples and then place the crumble on top.
  • Bake the tart at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes.
  • Let cool before serving.

Notes

*I have made both the crust and the topping with gluten free flour - I prefer King Arthur Multi Purpose Gluten Free Flour Blend.
**You can use any variety of apple that you like if you can't get Ambrosia apples.
