Notes

  • Not all margarine is vegan. When shopping for vegan margarine, read the labels and look out for whey, lactose, casein and caseinate, which are dairy derivatives that are frequently used in margarine. (Margarine may also go by the name "butter substitute" or "non-dairy butter spread.") Certain brands, such as Blue Bonnet Light Margarine and Smart Balance Light Margarine do not contain any animal products and are therefore great choices for vegan recipes like this Vegan apple cobbler. Vegan margarine may also be labeled as "vegan non-dairy spread." Purchasing items with this label is an easy way to ensure you're getting a truly vegan product.

  • Apple cobbler isn't just a good dessert option; it can also be enjoyed for breakfast the day after. Wait until the cobbler cools before placing it, covered, in the refrigerator. You can warm the vegan apple cobbler up in the oven or microwave the next day, or enjoy it chilled.
