The only changes I made is I used a combo of walnuts and cashews instead of the pumpkin seeds in the batter and on the top I used sunflower seeds instead of the pumpkin seeds.

 

Here are the Ingredients--but go to the link for details:

1 & 1/2 cup diced apple smallish chunks (I peeled mine)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup dry white wine or water (me water)

1 & 1/2 cups diced onion

2 large cloves garlic roughly chopped

2 &1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning (she has a note if you don't have this)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt for saute

freshly ground black pepper

2 cans (15 ounces each) chickpeas, rinsed and drained

3 & 1/2 tablespoons vegan Worcestershire sauce, plus 1-2 tablespoons for topping

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (optional--I forgot!)

1 tablespoon tahini

1/2 tsp rounded salt (for puree)

2 &1/2 cups cooked brown rice

3/4 cup toasted pumpkin seeds plus 2 tbsp for topping ( I  used a mix of cashews and walnuts and then sunflower seeds for topping)

1 cup rolled oats

2-3 tablespoons dried cranberries for topping (optional, but really adds flavor --I didn't put enough so added when serving.

Note: She used a 16 cup food processor which I don't have so I had to do mine in batches.  Here is the link to her vegan golden gravy: https://dreenaburton.com/easy-vegan-gravy/
