Gluten-Free Apple Crisp
A warm and comforting gluten-free apple crisp, perfect for a cozy dessert. Made with almond flour and oats for a delightful texture and naturally sweetened with maple syrup.
Ingredients
- 6 medium, peeled, cored, and sliced Apples
- 1 cup Almond Flour
- 1/2 cup, gluten-free Rolled Oats
- 1/4 cup Maple Syrup
- 1/4 cup, melted Coconut Oil
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Preparing the Apples
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Toss well to coat the apples evenly. This will prevent browning and enhance the flavor.
Making the Crisp Topping
In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, gluten-free rolled oats, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil. Use your hands or a fork to combine until the mixture forms a crumbly topping.
Assembling and Baking
Pour the apple mixture into a baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches). Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the apples. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, cover the dish loosely with foil.
Cooling and Serving
Let the crisp cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to thicken slightly. Serve warm, plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or coconut whipped cream for a truly decadent treat.
