Ingredients  

  • 12 medium apples - (sweet & tart mix) peeled, cored & chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice - (I forgot this on the video)
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch - sub with arrowroot starch if you'd like
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon Salt

Crisp Topping (see note for Passover)

  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • ¾ cup Gluten Free flour blend - I like Pillsbury or Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour
  • 1 ½ cups gluten free old fashioned oats - I like Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free
  • ¾ cup almond meal - sub instant oats if you need nut-free
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup melted butter - or dairy free alternative

Instructions

  • Peel, cored and chop apples into similar sized chunks. At the suggestion of a reader, I bought the handy gizmo (in the post photo above) that quickly does it all for me. It can be found on Amazon.
  • Once the peeled, cored and sliced apple came off the gizmo, I quartered it, creating really even pieces. Having the even sized pieces really helps to guarantee that they will all be evenly baked.
  • In a large bowl mix your prepped apples, lemon juice, sugar, corn starch, cinnamon and salt until well combined.
  • Spread into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish in an even layer.
  • For the crisp topping: Combine sugar, flour, oats, almond meal (you can sub instant oats if needed), salt and cinnamon in a bowl and mix well. Slowly add melted butter while continuing to mix. Once pea sized crumbs for and the mix no longer looks dry it is ready to go. You may not need all of the butter. If it gets too wet, the topping may be a bit oily. It will still taste good though!
  • Spread the mixture in an even layer over the apples. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 mins... Until the top is golden & the apples are soft. Serve with whipped cream, ice cream, caramel syrup and/or chopped nuts... Yummmm!!!!

Notes

For Passover, feel free to adjust the topping to a mixture of almond meal/flour and finely crushed gluten free Matzoh Crackers equaling 3 cups to replace the gluten free flour, almond meal and instant oats combination.
