Ingredients
6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced into 1/2 inch chunks
1.5 cups certified gluten-free rolled oats
1 cup almond flour
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with half of the brown sugar, the cinnamon, and lemon juice.
Toss the apple mixture well until evenly coated.
Spread the apple mixture into a greased 9×9 inch baking dish.
In a separate bowl, mix the gluten-free oats, almond flour, and remaining brown sugar.
Cut the cold butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple base.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Notes
Ensure all oats are specifically labeled certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination. Keep the butter cold when working it into the topping to ensure the desired crumbly texture. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven for best texture.
