This gluten-free apple crisp will check alllll your self management.

Each bit nearly as good as my traditional apple crisp recipe! And dare I say even higher as a result of you could have the fabulous addition of maple syrup. Yum.

(By the best way, do you know I’ve a bit on my web site devoted to gluten-free recipes? I even have this gluten free desserts web page.)

Right here’s Why You’ll Love This Gluten-Free Apple Crisp:

• Fall-favorite flavors of apple, cinnamon, maple, and brown sugar

• Nobody will consider it’s gluten free!

I admire how straightforward it’s to organize fruit crisps. Whereas I like fruit pies with my selfmade buttery flaky pie crust, they are often relatively time consuming. Apple pie is a eternally favourite dessert, however ready for it to chill could be downright torturous. With this crisp, we will dig proper in whereas it’s nonetheless heat!

Straightforward Apple Filling

• Apples: See beneath for the very best apples to make use of. You want 5 cups of peeled, chopped apples, which is about 4 medium/giant apples.
• Lemon Juice: A squeeze of lemon helps brighten up the flavour of the apple filling—it tastes slightly flat with out it.
• Brown Sugar: The molasses content material in brown sugar provides a lot taste because it sweetens. It’s how I sweeten this apple galette, too.
• Maple Syrup: For sweetness with that unequaled maple taste. The apple-maple combo tastes like quintessential fall! Have you ever ever tried my wholesome apple muffins?
• Vanilla Extract: Enhances and enhances all the opposite flavors.
• Cornstarch: This helps the filling thicken because it bakes.
• Spices: Identical to in apple pie, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice add heat and depth of taste to this gluten-free apple crisp.

Peel & Slice Apples Into Chunks

You possibly can skip peeling the apples if you happen to’d like, however many want peeled apples in desserts. I exploit and love (affiliate hyperlink) this OXO peeler. A whole lot of crisp recipes use apple slices, however I want chunks as a result of chunks simply match onto a spoon or fork. It’s additionally tough to get completely uniform slices, so some items could be a lot thinner than others—and which means mushy apples. 1-inch chunks which are between 1/4 and 1/2 inch thick are perfect for this gluten free crisp.

Toss the apple chunks with the remainder of the filling substances after which spoon/pour the apple filling right into a 9-inch pie dish or sq. baking pan.

Right here’s What You Want for the Topping

You should purchase almond meal from the shop, however it’s very easy to make at residence. Pulse sliced or slivered almonds in a meals processor till the almonds are pulverized. To keep away from the almonds grinding into an oily almond butter because of the processor’s warmth, pulse them with 2 Tablespoons oats. I observe that within the recipe beneath.

Sprinkle the topping all around the high of the apple filling, and your gluten-free apple crisp is able to bake! No chilling, pre-cooking, cooling, or some other steps that will additional delay the second of bliss once you dig in your spoon for that first chew.

And naturally, don’t neglect the vanilla ice cream! No apple dessert is full with out a scoop of vanilla ice cream on high. And for a juicy pop of shade, sprinkle some contemporary pomegranate arils on high earlier than serving. (Completely non-compulsory, however look how fairly!) Discuss texture heaven.

Can I Make Different Gluten-Free Fruit Crisps?

Sure, you may change the apples with cherries or pears, and even change 1 cup of the apples with contemporary cranberries. You can even use blueberries or peaches, however cut back the maple syrup within the filling down to three Tablespoons, as a result of each of these fruits get so juicy. Be happy to regulate the spices, primarily based on the fruit you’re utilizing.
