Enjoying a delicious apple crisp doesn't have to mean compromising on dietary preferences. This gluten-free apple crisp recipe offers a delightful twist on a classic dessert, perfect for those avoiding gluten or simply looking for a healthier alternative. Here’s how to whip up this mouthwatering treat:

1. Ingredients:

For the Filling:

  • 6 cups sliced apples (about 6 medium-sized apples, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on the sweetness of the apples)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, diced (or dairy-free butter for a vegan option)

2. Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar size with butter or cooking spray.

  2. Prepare the Apple Filling:

    • In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss until the apples are evenly coated. Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

  3. Make the Crisp Topping:

    • In another bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almond flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the diced cold butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. Assemble and Bake:

    • Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the apple filling in the baking dish, covering it completely.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.

  5. Serve:

    • Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.

3. Tips for Success:

  • Apple Selection: Choose apples that are firm and slightly tart for the best texture and flavor in your apple crisp.

  • Gluten-Free Certification: Ensure that all ingredients used, especially oats and almond flour, are certified gluten-free to avoid any cross-contamination.

  • Storage: Store any leftover apple crisp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving for the best taste.

4. Conclusion

This gluten-free apple crisp recipe offers a delightful blend of sweet, tart apples with a crunchy oat topping, all without gluten. Whether you're hosting guests with dietary restrictions or simply craving a comforting dessert, this recipe is sure to satisfy.
