Background

This vegan fig and walnut crumble can be gluten-free too if appropriate oat and flour are used. Figs don’t release much juice during cooking, so we need to add some fruit juice to the base- such as cherry, cranberry, apple, prune juice - or compote, tinned fruit syrup would work too. ( I used prune juice). Serve it with vegan vanilla custard, yogurt or ice-cream. It’s a lovely dessert for a relaxed Sunday lunch!

Ingredients

6 ripe figs
½ cup fruit juice
1 tsp cinnamon powder
1 handful walnuts, chopped
1 Tbsp muscovado sugar
For the crumble
1 cup (gluten-free) porridge oats
½ cup (gluten-free) flour
50g dairy- free spread
½ cup ground walnuts
2 or 3 muscovado sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Cut the figs into thin circles, then lay them in a baking dish, overlapping each other. Pour over the juice or syrup, then scatter the sugar, chopped walnuts and half of the cinnamon over them.
Put the flour, ground walnut, cinnamon and oat in a mixing bowl, then add the spread. Using your fingers, rub them together to make a breadcrumb texture. Add the sugar and combine.
Sprinkle the mixture over the figs evenly, then press the mixture down with the base of a spoon.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden.
Serve with vegan vanilla custard or ice-cream.
