Gluten-Free Apple Crisp Recipe

Also, for those of you who’ve labored to create a pie crust from scratch, you’ll be delighted to know that this one requires very little work but the results are delicious all the same. Even better, all seven of the ingredients for this gluten-free apple crisp recipe are truly good for you. How often can you say that about any dessert, huh?

Key Ingredients

• Apples: In particular, apple nutrition is significant, for the apple is a top fiber, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory food. And personally, while I love a crisp raw apple, there’s something special about baking this amazing fruit.
• Gluten-free oats: Combined with gluten-free oats, the fiber quotient of this recipe is impressive and can help to prevent heart disease, lower cholesterol and alleviate constipation.
• Grass-fed butter: Real butter from grass-fed cows is actually an awesome, healthy food that offers a lot more benefits than you would expect. The term “healthy butter” is especially true when you purchase butter that is grass-fed and organic.
• Spices: Lastly, the spices cinnamon and nutmeg produce those holiday friendly smells, but cinnamon, in particular, also imparts several health benefits, including addressing allergies and the common cold.

How to Make Gluten-Free Apple Crisp

So let’s get started! First, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Get a couple of organic Granny Smith apples, ideally grown locally, and core them. Next, slice them up thinly.

In a bowl, stir the remaining ingredients — coconut sugar (one of the best natural sweeteners), gluten-free flour, gluten-free oats, grass-fed butter, cinnamon and nutmeg — together until well mixed. Use a mixer or a firm scraper.

Sprinkle this lovely gluten-free concoction over the apples in the tart pans or baking pan.

Lastly, place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and place on cooling racks … and try to patiently wait to dig into the alternatively gooey yet crisp textures. For a real show-stopper, couple with my Raw Vanilla Ice Cream. Enjoy!
