Ingredients

For the crumble top

150 g plain flour
125 g vegan butter chilled and cut into cubes
75 g demerera sugar
0.5 tsp cinnamon
0.5 tsp ginger
1 pinch ground cloves
1 pinch ground nutmeg
50 g chopped hazelnuts

For the fruit filling

250 g apples peeled, cored and diced
250 g pears peeled, cored and diced
250 g cranberries fresh or frozen
1 tbsp cornflour
3 tbsp dark brown sugar

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 200C / 400 F / gas mark 6.
Combine the flour and vegan butter in a food processor or large bowl, and pulse briefly, or rub with your fingertips, until the mixture resembles very coarse breadcrumbs with a few larger lumps.
Add the sugar and spices and stir through.
Put this in the freezer for 10 minutes, or if making ahead, in the fridge until you’re ready to bake.
Meanwhile, toss the apple, pear and cranberries with the cornflour and caster sugar until all coated.
Add a splash of water (25 – 50ml) to the bottom of your baking dish then layer in the apple, pear and cranberries.
Spoon the crumble over the apple, pear and cranberries then sprinkle over the chopped hazelnuts.
Bake for 30 minutes until the apples are just soft and the crumble top is golden and crunchy.
