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.

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.
