    Baked Apple Crisp Season!

    From about mid September to early October there is usually an abundance of apples at our house. If you’re anything like me, I don’t like having fresh fruit go to waste so I usually end up making a lot of apple crisp! I prefer making apple crisp over apple pie because I love the cinnamon oat topping and its simple ingredients.

    Also, everyone knows apple crisp is the best when topped with vanilla ice cream. So even if you eat dairy free, get a scoop of dairy free vanilla ice cream and put it on that warm apple crisp. It’s SOOO delicious!

    Ingredients For Baked Gluten Free Apple Crisp

    Now you might be wondering, what is in this apple crisp to make it gluten free? Honestly, you won’t even realize that it’s gluten free but make sure your rolled oats and flour are certified gluten free.

    Apple Base:

    • apples 
    • maple syrup
    • lemon juice
    • arrowroot powder (or could use corn starch)
    • cinnamon and nutmeg

    Oat Topping:

    • gluten free rolled oats (could use regular oats if not gluten free)
    • gluten free all purpose flour (could use regular flour if not gluten free)
    • pecans
    • brown sugar or coconut sugar
    • cinnamon
    • kosher salt
    • vegan butter (could use ghee or regular butter)

    How To Make Apple Crisp

    The instructions on how to make this baked apple crisp is pretty straight forward. There are not very many steps and it only requires two bowls for mixing and the baking dish. That’s it!

    Here are the steps:

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
    2. Peel, core, and chop the apples into small bite-sized pieces. Add the chopped apples to a large bowl. Add the maple syrup, lemon juice, arrowroot, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix until blended and the apples are coated.
    3. Spread the apple mixture evenly into a square 8-inch baking dish.
    4. Next, mix the oat topping ingredients in a medium bowl until combined. Sprinkle the oat mixture on top of the apples in the baking dish. Spread evenly. Add a few extra chopped pecans on top if desired.
    5. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the topping is light golden brown and the juices are bubbling. The apples should be soft when tested with a fork. Let rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.

    How To Serve

    Apple crisp pairs perfectly with vanilla ice cream in my opinion. If you follow a diary free diet, try dairy free vanilla ice cream or whipped coconut cream for a sweet treat! This gluten free apple crisp is also delicious on its own.

    How To Store Apple Crisp

    To Store: Let the apple crisp cool before storing in the fridge for up to 5 days. Store covered with plastic wrap or container lid.
