Read our privacy policy Crumble has to be one of our favourite desserts, so we’ve added in one of our favourite plant-based ingredients: plantain,” say Shaun and Craig McAnuff, the brothers behind Original Flava. “The riper the plantain, the sweeter the crumble will taste.” To make your plantains overripe, just pop them in the oven at 180C fan/200C/gas mark 6 for about 15 minutes. Plantain and apple crumble Serves: 4-6 Ingredients: 1 tbsp vegan butter 3 apples, cored and cut into 2cm chunks 3 ripe plantain, peeled and cut into 2cm chunks 1 tbsp vanilla extract 1 tsp ground cinnamon ½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg 1 bay leaf A little salt 300ml apple juice For the crumble: 225g plain flour 125g soft light brown sugar 125g vegan butter, cubed Method: 1. Add the rest of the apple juice to the mixture, sprinkle the crumble evenly on top and bake in the oven for 35–40 minutes until the crumble is cooked and golden brown.
