This apricot crumble uses fresh or canned apricots for a perfectly sweet-tart, jammy, and ultra-delicious filling with a crisp, oaty topping – a decadent summer dessert or brunch!
In an 8x8" baking dish or pan, combine apricots, granulated sugar, lavender buds (if using) and pinch of salt.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Drizzle in canola oil and mix until crumbly. Sprinkle oat topping onto the fruit.
Place the baking dish on the middle rack in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbly and the crisp topping is golden brown.
Serve warm, room temperature or cold. Optionally, top with vanilla vegan ice cream.
Notes
Use ripe apricots: Ensure they’re ripe enough for the best sweet-tart flavor and jammy texture. Under-ripe apricots are too tart (and firm).
Sweeten to taste: Depending on the fruit sweetness and personal preference. Note that apricots get more tart when baked.
Let it rest: Just 15-20 minutes can help to slightly cool and thicken the filling, making it easier to serve and enjoy.
