Ingredients
For the crumble top
- 150 g plain flour
- 125 g vegan butter chilled and cut into cubes
- 75 g demerera sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ginger
- 1 pinch ground cloves

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.
