Equipment

  • 1 square baking dish 8x8

Ingredients

Crisp filling ingredients

  • 4 apples Pink Lady or Granny Smith, sliced about 4 cups
  • 1 tablespoon gluten-free baking flour
  • 1-2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon liquid honey
  • 1 lemon for juice, about 2 Tbsp

Oat Crisp Topping ingredients

  • ¼ cup butter unsalted, thinly sliced
  • 1 ¼ cup gluten-free rolled oats not quick cooking
  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Toss sliced apples in flour, cinnamon and lemon juice in a large bowl.
  • Place apples into a square baking dish (8 x 8 inches).
  • In the same bowl, add the sliced butter, oats, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon.
  • Using 2 knifes "cut" through the mixture, combining the ingredients together until it becomes a crumbly texture. Add walnuts and stir.
  • Add the oat crisp topping overtop the apples, pressing down gently.
  • Bake for 30 - 35 minutes in the oven or until the crisp is hot throughout.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

Note on cooking time: 30 minute at 350 degrees F will give you an apple crisp that has apple with some structure still - slightly firm. If you prefer your apples softer, bake the crisp longer. 
Apple crisp can be prepped and stored in the fridge for up to 6 hours before baking. Do not freeze.
Leftovers good for 3 days in the fridge.
