Ingredients
Crumble Topping
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats, regular or gluten free
- 4 tbsp gluten free flour, or all purpose flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 2 tbsp cold unsalted butter
Apple Filling
- 5 cups peeled diced apples
- 2 tbsp gluten free flour, or all purpose flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- pinch nutmeg
- ½ tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8 inch square pan with nonstick spray.
- Make crumble topping. Add all topping ingredients to a mixing bowl. Use your fingers or a fork to incorporate cold butter into the other ingredients. Continue mixing until a crumbly mixture is formed. Set aside.
- Then, make apple filling. Add diced peeled to a large mixing bowl. Add gluten free flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon juice to the bowl. Toss until fully coated.
- Place coated apples down into the greased pan. Spread into an even layer.
- Crumble the topping on top.
- Bake for 1 hour or until topping is golden brown and the apples are fork tender.
- Finally, remove from oven. Serve warm immediately or chill until needed.
Notes
- Use rolled oats instead of instant or quick oats.
- To keep this recipe gluten free, use gluten free oats and gluten free 1 to 1 flour.
- If desired, all purpose flour can be used instead.
- Use hands or a fork to incorporate the cold butter into the topping ingredients.
- I highly recommend using a variety of apples such as Granny Smith, honey crispy and MacIntosh or Cortland.
- Slice apples into no larger than ¼ inch slices.
- Bake until topping has turned golden brown and apples are fork tender. If the top is browned and the apples are not tender yet, cover with tin foil and continue baking.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
