Ingredients
These are the main ingredients of the recipe:
- Apples: fresh green apples, peeled and chopped. I prefer Granny Smith apples.
- Oats: gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats.
- Flour: gluten-free all-purpose flour and almond flour. I used a store-bought almond flour but you can use a homemade one.
- Sugar: brown sugar for the crumble and white granulated sugar for the apples.
- Butter: cold chopped unsalted butter.
- Lemon: drops of fresh lemon juice.
- Cinnamon: ground cinnamon (optional).
- Almonds: chopped and toasted almonds (optional).
How to make easy and crunchy Apple Crisp
Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
In a medium bowl place chopped peeled apples, granulated sugar, 3/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, and lemon juice. If you like very sweet desserts you can add another tablespoon of sugar.
Mix everything and transfer to prepared baking pan. I used an 8´´ square pan.
In another bowl mix brown sugar, oats, gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, and remaining cinnamon.
Add the diced cold butter into the mixture and rub it with your fingertips until crumb forms.
Place the mixture in the baking pan over the apples and sprinkle with chopped almonds (optional).
Bake for 40/50 minutes or until golden brown and the apples are bubbling.
Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream.
Storing
Store the dessert in the fridge cover for 3 days. I don’t recommend to freeze it, it’s not the same.
Serving suggestions
- Ice cream: serving the dessert warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is highly recommended.
- Whipped cream: fresh whipped cream.
- Dried Fruits: sprinkle some toasted almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts on top.
Variation
- Gluten-free flour: you can substitute the gluten-free all-purpose flour with another gluten-free flour, like brown rice flour or buckwheat flour. I haven’t tried it but it should work.
- Lemon: can be replaced with orange juice.
- Regular version: replace gluten-free all-purpose flour with all-purpose flour.
