Gluten Free Apple Crisp

This apple crisp dish comes from “Mamma Knows Gluten Free”. I have found a number of recipes from her on Pinterest that we really love. Jim and I are not gluten free but still really enjoy many of her recipes and this recipe is exactly that.

INGREDIENTS
FOR THE TOPPING

1/2 cup gluten free all purpose flour, I used Bob’s red mill 1 for 1, that includes xanthan gum
1/2 cup gluten free quick Oats
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon gluten free baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1/3 cup butter, diced into small cubes, I used earth balance

FOR THE FILLING

4 cups of apples, peeled and chopped. I used both granny smith and honey crisp apples
3 Tablespoons melted butter , I used earth balance
2 Tablespoons gluten free flour with xanthan gum
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
3 Tablespoons dairy free milk, unsweetened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt

DIRECTIONS

Pre heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray an 8×8 baking dish with a gluten free non stick cooking spray.
To make the topping-
In a medium size bowl combine the crumb topping ingredients and mix with a fork until it resembles chunky crumbs, refrigerate while you prepare the apple filling.

Add the peeled and chopped apples to a large bowl. Add the lemon juice, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, packed brown sugar, ground cinnamon, gluten free flour and salt. Stir until fully combined.

Pour the apple mixture into the greased baking dish and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over the top of the apples. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Enjoy!
