Ingredients
For the Apple Filling:
- 6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best), peeled and sliced thin
- 2 tbsp gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tbsp nutmeg
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
For the Crumble Topping:
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tbsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted (or a dairy-free alternative)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or a non-stick spray.
Step 2: Prepare the Apple Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Add the gluten-free flour, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
- Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 3: Make the Crumble Topping
- In a separate bowl, mix the oats, gluten-free flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Pour the melted butter over the dry ingredients and mix until crumbly in texture.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Let the crumble cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
