Ingredients
6 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup certified gluten-free rolled oats
1/2 cup almond flour
3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into uniform half-inch pieces.
Toss the apple slices with lemon juice and a pinch of cinnamon in a large bowl.
Transfer apples into a greased nine-inch baking dish in an even layer.
In a separate medium bowl, combine gluten-free oats, almond flour, brown sugar, and remaining cinnamon.
Cut the cold butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the apples.
Bake for 45 minutes until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let stand before serving.
Notes
Ensure the oats are specifically certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a drizzle of non-dairy cream.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven.
