  • 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg

  • 1/2 cup of packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup of chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (cut into small pieces or use coconut oil for a dairy-free option)

2. Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

  2. Prepare the Apple Filling:

    • In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.
    • Add granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until the apples are evenly coated.

  3. Make the Crisp Topping:

    • In another bowl, combine gluten-free rolled oats, almond flour, brown sugar, chopped nuts (if using), cinnamon, and salt.
    • Add the butter pieces and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend everything until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. Assemble and Bake:

    • Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
    • Sprinkle the crisp topping over the apples, covering them completely.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.

  6. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

3. Tips for Success:

  • Ensure all ingredients used are certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
  • Adjust the sweetness level by adding more or less sugar based on your preference and the sweetness of the apples.
  • Experiment with different types of apples for varying flavors and textures.

This gluten-free apple crisp recipe offers a wonderful way to indulge in a classic dessert while adhering to dietary preferences. Enjoy the delicious flavors and comforting aroma with every bite!
