Ingredients
4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
1 heaping tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 tablespoon gluten-free flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup gluten-free old-fashioned oats
4 tablespoons cold butter or butter alternative, cubed
1/2 cup gluten-free flour blend
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, toss the chopped apples with the granulated sugar, 1/2 tablespoon gluten-free flour, and cinnamon until evenly coated.
Transfer the apple mixture to a baking dish.
In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, 1/2 cup gluten-free flour, and certified gluten-free oats.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter in until the topping resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and the topping is golden brown and bubbling.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Ensure your oats are certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination. You can add extra spices like nutmeg or ginger if desired. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
