Ingredients
For the apple filling
- 6 medium Granny Smith apples Or a mix of other baking apples like Honeycrisp or Braeburn.
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar Adjust based on the sweetness of apples.
- 1 tbsp lemon juice To enhance the flavor and prevent browning.
- 1 tsp cinnamon For added warmth and flavor.
For the crisp topping
- 1 cup gluten-free oats Ensure they are certified gluten-free.
- 1/2 cup gluten-free flour blend A blend that works well for baking.
- 1/2 cup brown sugar For a deeper sweetness.
- 1/4 cup butter or coconut oil Melted.
- 1/4 tsp salt To balance the sweetness.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin pieces.
- In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly in a greased baking dish.
Making the topping
- In another bowl, combine the oats, gluten-free flour, brown sugar, melted butter (or coconut oil), and salt.
- Mix until the topping is crumbly, then evenly distribute it over the apples.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are bubbly and topping is golden brown.
Serving

Notes
To keep topping crispy, avoid excess moisture from apples. Best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
