Steps
Let’s start by getting our hands dirty to prepare the apple crumbles
In a bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar (cane if desired), salt, and yeast (if using).
Add the coconut oil (or seed oil) or margarine and mix with a fork until you get a sandy mixture.
Gradually pour in the cold water, kneading quickly with your hands until you form a compact dough.Do not overwork the dough to prevent it from becoming tough.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.Peel and dice the apple into small cubes.
In a bowl, mix the apple with the lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger powder. Let it rest while you prepare the crumble.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Take pieces of dough and place them at the bottom of the mold. With your hands, spread it towards the edges creating a pastry cavity.
Alternatively, you can roll out the vegan dough on a floured surface and cut out discs to line the tart molds. Press the dough well on the edges and remove the excess.
Fill each base with a generous layer of apple filling.
Finish with the crumble, crumbling the dough with your hands and distributing it evenly over the apples.Bake the mini tarts at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, or until the crumble is golden and the apples are soft.
Let the tarts cool in the molds for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Vegan apple crumbles lend themselves to numerous variations. You can enrich the filling with raisins, chopped walnuts, or sliced almonds for added crunch. If you want an even healthier dessert, you can replace part of the flour with whole wheat or spelt flour, which will give the base a rustic and nourishing taste. For a more indulgent note, you can sprinkle the surface with brown sugar before baking, achieving an irresistible golden crust.
They keep at room temperature for about 4 days.
