Gluten-Free Apple Berry Crumble Recipe (No Oats)
This gluten-free apple blueberry crumble is an easy fruit dessert made with tender apples, juicy blueberries, and a buttery crisp topping. The apples become soft and jammy, and the blueberries add sweetness and color, while the buttery topping turns golden and crisp.
Ingredients
- 6 apples, peeled, seeded, and cubed
- 1 cup blueberries or mixed berries, fresh or frozen
- ½ orange zest
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 and ⅓ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup cold unsalted butter, diced
- Almonds, toasted and chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- For the filling: Place the peeled, seeded, and cubed apples, blueberries, and orange zest in a baking dish. Set aside.
- For the crumble topping: Add the gluten-free all-purpose flour, both sugars, and cold diced butter to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Alternatively, combine the cold diced butter, both sugars, and gluten-free all-purpose flour in a medium bowl. Rub the ingredients together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping and chopped toasted almonds evenly over the fruit.
- Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges. Let the crumble rest for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly.
- Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream.
