Gluten Free Apple Crisp

with 10 comments

Sometimes you just have to satisfy a craving… and empty the fridge of the last three apples.

I didn’t really feel like digging out a recipe… I was too focused on the final product! So, I rather made it up as i went along. Since I didn’t measure, I am guessing at each of these quantities, but the ratio is right. =)

Here’s the recipe:
FILLING

  • 3-4 Braeburn (or similar) apples, peeled, sliced into 1/4″ thick slices
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2-3 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 Tablespoons to 1/4 c. white sugar or turbinado sugar (to taste)
  • 2 Tablespoons to 1/4 c. brown sugar (to taste)
  • 2 Tablespoons (more or less) GF Flour mix – depending on juiciness of the apples

CRISP TOPPING

  • 6 Tablespoons butter, slightly softened
  • 1/3 c. GF quick oats, roughly ground almonds & walnuts, or quinoa flakes
  • 1/4 c. GF Flour mix
  • 2-3 Tablespoons white sugar (to taste)
  • 1-2 Tablespoons brown sugar (to taste)
  • optional: ground cinnamon (1 tsp) and freshly ground nutmeg (1 tsp)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 375*F.
  2. Peel and slice apples into thin slices (1/4″).
  3. Put into a medium bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice. Mix.
  4. Add sugars, flour and cinnamon.
  5. Mix together very well.
  6. Pour into medium (for thin) or small (for deep) baking dish.
  7. Put softened butter into the same bowl where you mixed the apples.
  8. Add oats (or other option), flour and sugars and “squish” together well until crumbly.
  9. Pour and crumble over apples in baking dish evenly.
  10. Bake for 23-30 minutes.

Cool slightly before serving (5-10 minutes).
Serve over all natural GF vanilla ice cream.

  1. I made 2 of these crisps last night. I made a grannie smith apple crisp following the recipe except for the lemon juice………I would like it more with about 1/2 of the cinnamon. GF Oats for the topping

    Grannie Smith made for a TART crisp

    The 2nd one that I made for my hubby, I used the ApplePears from Publix with 1/2 of the cinnamon and quinoa for the topping and it was wonderful
    ApplePears make for a sweet crisp

    Thanks for sharing the recipe!

    Awesome! Those are great tips, Linda. Thanks! I knew the crisp wasn’t overly sweet… tart/sweet… I’m glad you have given great ideas to make it even sweeter for people who like that! Thanks for sharing! -Kate

  2. As a mother to a gluten free munchkin, I can’t tell you how your recipe brings little twinkles on my daughter’ eyes. I stumbled upon your site just last week and I’ve made 2 batches of apple crisps based on your recipe. We even couldn’t tell if it’s in fact gluten free. It’s now one of our fave comfort foods.

    I did change your recipe a bit as my daughter has multiple food allergies. I substituted oats with gf cornflakes. It still turned out temptingly yummy.

    Thank you for sharing this recipe and I’ll definitely stop by here often.

    ps. Oh, We did try your rice spring rolls recipe. My daughter loved those rolls! (Well, she preferred to eat the rice papers than the fillings) ^_^

    Welcome! I’m glad the crisp recipe works well for you too. The idea of cornflakes intrigues me. GF corn flakes are one of my favorite ice cream toppers! I know – but it’s true! They add such a great crunchy texture that I LOVE it! (I think I actually eat the ice cream because I love that crunchy texture with the sweet creamy ice cream. :) -Kate

    • try the corn flaked with some honey and cinnomon if you really want a treat. I love a real vanilla ice cream with bits of ground vinilla.
