This recipe for gluten-free apple crisp is a long-time family favorite recipe, adapted from my mom’s recipe. If you don’t need a large pan of this yummy dessert, feel free to halve all ingredients and bake in an 8″x8″ pan instead.

Ingredients:

  • 12 cups peeled, sliced apples
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp. water
  • 1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats or old-fashioned oats
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter or non-dairy alternative

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°.
  2. Either peel and slice by hand or use an apple peeler/corer/slicer to slice the apples into 1/4″ thick slices.
  3. In a large bowl, stir together sliced apples, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, lemon juice and water. Scoop into 9×13 baking pan.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together all topping ingredients except butter. Use a pastry cutter or 2 knives to cut in butter (or non-dairy butter alternative) until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over apples.
  5. Bake at 375° for 45 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is crisp and browned.
  6. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream or non-dairy alternative.
