Gluten Free Friday: Apple Picking = Apple Crisp

The kids and I have been apple picking twice in the last month. Once with dear friends and visitors from Texas, and once on a homeschool field trip. I think I have made a total of 5 apple crisps since then for various occasions. You just can’t beat it served warm with ice cream on a fall New England evening! I’ve posted this recipe before, (I really need to create a recipe index on this blog!) but I just had to post it again along with some apple-picking photos!
We also got to pick pumpkins at the Red Apple Barn!
Jack will go to great heights to get the best apples!
(Jack also fixed my apple-peeler/corer/slicer so that I could more easily mass-produce this dish!)
The newlyweds under the apple tree!

Hopefully, I’ll get around to posting more photos from our recent visitors and outings, but there have been SO MANY visitors and outings, there has been no time for blogging!
Miss you Jack and Kelly!

Apple Crisp

4-6 medium peeled, sliced, tart apples
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup GF flour
1/2 cup oats (Use Bob’s Red Mill GF Oats, Lara’s GF Rolled Oats, or use a crushed GF cereal in their place.)
3/4 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp nutmeg (I use less.)
1/3 cup softened butter

Butter a square baking dish. (8 in.) Place apple slices in dish. Mix remaining ingredients, and sprinkle over apples. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is golden brown.

This recipe doubles and triples easily. Sometimes I make double the topping for a more crusty dessert. To make it “gluten-full” just use regular oats and regular white flour or whole wheat flour. I simply substituted GF ingredients where needed.

  3. I made this tonight with some lovely crisp apples, using whole wheat flour and a dark brown sugar. It came out deliciously crunchy and flavorful! Thanks Mel, I think this is my new favorite crisp topping!
