Description
This comforting gluten-free apple crisp is a perfect blend of tart Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apples and a buttery, nut-infused oat crumble.

It is an ideal, wholesome treat for any occasion, ensuring everyone can enjoy a classic orchard-fresh experience without compromise.
Ingredients
6 cups Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1.5 cups certified gluten-free rolled oats
1 cup almond flour
0.75 cup coconut sugar
0.5 cup cold butter, cubed
1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 pinch salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into uniform half-inch thick pieces.
Toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, and two tablespoons of coconut sugar in a large bowl.
Transfer the apple mixture into a greased 9×9 baking dish and spread evenly.
In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free oats, almond flour, remaining coconut sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Incorporate the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or fingers until a crumbly texture forms.
Distribute the oat mixture evenly over the apples, covering the surface completely.
Bake for 45 minutes until the fruit is tender and bubbling around the edges.
Notes
Ensure you use certified gluten-free oats to keep the recipe safe for those with celiac disease. Use a pastry cutter to keep the butter cold, which helps the topping stay crunchy. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dairy-free yogurt.
