Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 4 to 5 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or Fuji work well) Peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice To prevent browning of apples
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg Optional for warmth
  • a pinch salt
For the topping
  • 1 cup gluten-free oats
  • 1 cup almond flour or gluten-free flour blend
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted Can substitute with coconut oil for dairy-free

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel, core, and slice the apples into about 1/4-inch thick pieces. In a large bowl, toss them with lemon juice, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix oats, almond flour, brown sugar, and nutmeg.
  4. Pour the melted butter over the dry mixture, stirring until everything is well-coated and crumbly.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Place the apple mixture evenly in a greased baking dish.
  2. Spread the oat mixture evenly across the apples, ensuring all fruit is covered.
  3. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the apples are tender and the top is golden brown.

Notes

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Leftover crisp can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes.
