Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups (210 g) all purpose gluten free flour blend
- 3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (omit if blend contains it)
- 1/2 cup (50 g) certified gluten free old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (109 g) packed light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup (67 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 12 tablespoons (168 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 3 pounds, about 6 large Granny Smith apples (or other tart and firm apple), peeled, cored and sliced into 1/4-inch thick wedges
- 2 tablespoons (18 g) gum free gluten free flour blend or tapioca starch/flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup (73 g) packed light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup (40 g) raw pecans and/or almonds, roughly chopped
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the crumble topping: In a medium bowl, combine the gluten free flour blend, xanthan gum, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Add the melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. The mixture will be thick. Chill the bowl in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes or in the freezer for about 5 minutes until firm.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, gum free gluten free flour blend, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
- Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
- Scatter the chopped nuts evenly over the top of the apple filling.
- Remove the crumble topping from the refrigerator and break it up into large chunks using a fork.
- Scatter the topping in an even layer over the apple filling. Press gently on the crumble topping to help it stick to the filling.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the center of the preheated oven.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender (about 20 more minutes).
- Remove from the oven and serve warm with optional vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- If your gluten free flour blend already contains xanthan gum, you can omit adding extra.
- You can substitute the pecans and almonds with other nuts or seeds you prefer.
