Gluten-Free Apple Crisp

By Lisa VanWilliams

One of my clients requested gluten-free apple crisp and these came out excellent! I cant wait to make them at my own house. I found these great little aluminum mini pie plates at my local grocery store (six for $2.99), and they come with a plastic cover. So they are great to give as gifts or easy to store in the fridge or freezer, just pop them into the oven to rewarm.


Ingredients (4 servings):

3 Fuji apples peeled, cored, sliced
3 Granny Smith peeled, cored, sliced
¹/³ cup sugar
1 tablespoon Bob's Red Mill Tapioca flour
½ teaspoon cinnamon (heaping)
dash of salt
dash of vanilla
½ fresh lemon juice squeezed



Crumb Topping

¹/³ cup brown sugar (heaping)
¼ cup rice flour
½ cup old fashioned oats
¼ cup almond meal
½ teaspoon cinnamon
dash of salt
½ stick of melted butter

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Place all sliced apples into a bowl and squeeze over lemon juice. Toss in the sugar, tapioca flour, cinnamon, salt, & vanilla and mix it well. Put your apples into Ramekins or a casserole dish for baking.

Then in another bowl, start the topping. Add your brown sugar, rice flour, oats, almond meal, cinnamon, salt, & melted butter and mix well until it resembles wet sand. Top off the apple mix with a SUPER large spoonful of the mixture and toss into the oven uncovered for an hour.




Bake until the top turns a light brown and the apples are all bumbling and soft. Serve with some whipped topping or vanilla ice cream. Of course they are fine with nothing on them too!! Enjoy
