Description
Indulge in this classic, comforting dessert featuring tender, tart Granny Smith apples tossed in lemon and cinnamon, topped with a decadently crunchy streusel. This gluten-free version uses a blend of certified GF oats and nutrient-dense almond flour to achieve the perfect golden-brown crumble without any wheat. It is a wholesome, nostalgic autumn favorite that bakes up beautifully and is ideal for sharing with friends and family at any gathering.
Ingredients
6 cups Granny Smith apples, sliced
1 cup certified gluten-free rolled oats
1/2 cup almond flour
2/3 cup brown sugar
6 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into uniform half-inch thick wedges.
Toss the apple slices in a large bowl with the lemon juice and one tablespoon of sugar.
Spread the fruit mixture evenly into a greased nine-inch square baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free oats, almond flour, remaining brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
Cut the cold butter into the flour and oat mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple layer.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Notes
Use Honeycrisp or Braeburn apples for a sweeter flavor profile. Substitute coconut sugar for brown sugar if preferred. For a nut-free version, replace almond flour with oat flour. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
