Do you have a favorite dessert? I have several, but this gluten free apple crisp is definitely one of my favorites. Growing up my mom would always throw an apple crisp together when we having company or if we were just in the mood for something sweet. I've tweaked her recipe a bit, but this is still the crisp i grew up eating and love making it for my family. The deliciousness of cooked apples, coated in cinnamon and sugar, topped with the best gluten free crumble consisting of oats and walnuts. If you haven't made a crisp the main thing you need to know is it's seriously SO EASY. You can throw it together in 10 minutes and while it cooks your house will fill with the fantastic aromas of apples and cinnamon. Once baked to perfection serve warm and top with vanilla ice cream. Let me know what you think! ENJOY!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 12 inch cast iron skillet or a glass baking dish. Set aside
In a mixing bowl add apples, sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice and mix until apples are evenly coated. Pour apple mix into prepared baking dish.
In a separate mixing bowl combine, gluten free flour, gluten free rolled oats, brown sugar, walnuts and cinnamon. Slice softened butter and add to mix, using hands to combine and create a crumble. Sprinkle crumble topping evenly over the top of the apples.
Bake for 45-55 minutes, until fruit is soft and crumble is golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Top with vanilla ice cream.
ENJOY!!!!

I am married to the most amazing man, Tommy. I am the mother of three beautiful children Landon, Finn, and Daisy. For years I have been helping friends, family and others navigate the life of gluten-free living. I grew up in a gluten-free house, my mom and both brothers were diagnosed with Celiac Disease when I was young. My mom did an amazing job making everything from scratch in a gluten free kitchen. When I had my first child Landon my world was changed. He was born at 24 weeks because I have a short cervix. The doctor told us that he had a slim chance of survival and that his life would be plagued with severe complications. He survived and has minimal complications due to his prematurity, but when Landon was two he started getting rashes all over his body and he would constantly be sick. My mom advised me to get Landon tested for Celiac Disease. This was the beginning of my true GF journey. Shortly after he was diagnosed, I decided to go off gluten as well. Although I do not have Celiac Disease, I have found that I feel 100% better eliminating gluten from my diet. Recently Finn was having some issues with his legs and knees hurting. The doctor told me to take Finn off gluten to see if it was causing the inflammation and pain. Sure enough once we changed his diet the symptoms went away. We have Celiac Disease and gluten intolerance on both sides of the family. My sister-in-law and niece were recently diagnosed and my Grandma recently took gluten out of her diet due to an autoimmune disease. We are in a fortunate position that both of our families understand the purpose of living a gluten-free lifestyle. I am on a mission to help people create amazing gluten-free recipes and to see that this diagnosis is not a curse, but can actually be delicious.
