Swaps, storage and make-ahead
Swaps
- For a dairy-free version, use melted coconut oil or a plant-based butter instead of the unsalted butter.
- For a gluten-free crisp, swap the whole wheat flour for almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend and choose rolled oats labelled gluten-free.
- For a nut-free topping, replace the walnuts with pumpkin seeds or simply add an extra 1/4 cup of oats.
- Pears or a mix of apples and frozen berries work in place of some or all of the apples.
Storage
Cool and refrigerate leftovers, covered, within 2 hours and eat within 3 to 4 days. Reheat in the oven until steaming hot to help re-crisp the topping; the microwave works but will soften it.
Make ahead
Mix the crumble topping up to 3 days ahead and keep it covered in the fridge, then slice and toss the apples just before assembling and baking so they don't brown.
