Ingredients

  • 6 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup gluten-free old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, gluten-free flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well.
  4. Add the sugar mixture to the apples and toss until well coated.
  5. Transfer the apple mixture to the greased baking dish and spread it evenly.
  6. In another bowl, combine the oats, chopped nuts, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well.
  7. Add the cold butter pieces to the oat mixture and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  10. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
  11. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
