This gluten-free apple crisp combines tender, spiced apples with a crunchy oat topping, making it the perfect dessert for cozy fall days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free flour (almond flour recommended)
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Peel and slice the apples into thin, even slices. Place them in a large mixing bowl and toss with lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt until evenly coated.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine gluten-free oats, gluten-free flour, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and mix with a pastry cutter or fingers until the topping resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the oat topping over the apples, covering them completely.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  6. Allow the apple crisp to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Use a mix of tart and sweet apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for balanced flavor.’, ‘Avoid overmixing the topping to keep it crumbly and crisp.’, ‘Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the topping for extra crunch.’, ‘Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the best experience.’]
