Ingredients
  

Fruit Layer
  • 6 crisp apples, chopped
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • juice of ½ lemon
  • pinch of salt
Protein Crumble Topping
  • ½ cup dry TVP
  • ½ cup rolled oats, gluten-free if needed
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds (sub chopped walnuts or pecans)
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 2 tbsp hemp seeds
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp PBFit powdered peanut butter
  • ¼ cup Complement vanilla plant-based protein powder [use code STEAMYVEGAN for 15% off]
  • 2½ tbsp maple syrup

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven at 350°F. In a 9×9 casserole dish toss the apples and pears with the cinnamon, cornstarch, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, TVP, pumpkin seeds, flaxseed, hemp seed, chia seeds, protein powder, PBFit, and salt until well combined.
  3. Then add the maple syrup and vanilla extract and combine until all the ingredients have begun to stick to each other slightly, and no more powder is settled at the bottom. This will take a minute or two, but just keep at it! The mixture isn't going to clump up in big chunks like granola, but smaller pieces.
  4. Sprinkle the mixture on top of the apples and smooth into an even layer. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and crispy, and fruit mixture is bubbling.
  5. Let cool for 10 minutes before dividing into bowls and serving. Top with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream, whipped creamed, or yogurt and enjoy!
