Ingredients
  

For the crust:

  • 1 and ¼ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • ⅔ cup milk
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

  • 7 Granny Smith Apples, peeled and sliced
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl. Add the melted butter and the milk, and mix until incorporated.
  • Let rest, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
  • Place the peeled and sliced apples, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, for about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the softened apples to a baking dish.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Drop spoonfuls of the chilled dough evenly over the apples, leaving a few small spaces between them.
  • Bake for 40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
