Ingredients

• 6 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups vegan bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• Vegan vanilla ice cream, for serving

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.
3. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt to the apples. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.
4. In a separate bowl, combine bread crumbs, rolled oats, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Layer half of the apple mixture in a greased baking dish. Sprinkle half of the oat mixture on top. Repeat the layers with the remaining apples and oats.
6. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
7. Remove the foil and sprinkle chopped walnuts on top. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
8. Let the apple brown betty cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream.
