Ingredients

Scale

Apple Filling

  • 5 cups peeled chopped apples
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Topping

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup gluten free old fashioned oats
  • ¾ cup gluten free 1 to 1 flour
  • 8 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter an 8-inch square baking pan or spray it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Apple Filling: In a large bowl, combine the peeled and chopped apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss the ingredients gently until all apple pieces are evenly coated with the spices and sugar.
  3. Layer Apples: Spread the coated apples evenly into the prepared baking pan, distributing them in an even layer for consistent baking.
  4. Prepare the Topping: In a separate mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, gluten-free old fashioned oats, gluten-free 1-to-1 flour, and cinnamon. Add the cold cubed butter, and use your fingers to break up and mix the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture becomes crumbly and coarse.
  5. Top the Apples: Evenly spread the crumbly topping over the apple layer, covering it completely.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown, the filling is bubbly, and the apples are fork tender.
  7. Serve: Remove the apple crisp from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • For best results, use tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a nice balance of sweetness and tartness.
  • The gluten-free 1-to-1 flour blend works well as a direct substitute for regular flour in this recipe.
  • Cold butter ensures a crumbly texture in the topping; avoid melting it before mixing.
  • This dessert can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger to the apple filling for added warmth.
