# Gluten-Free Apple Crisp Heaven

Living gluten-free doesn't mean missing out on desserts. Slice 5 cups of apples and toss them with lemon juice, cinnamon, and a bit of sugar. For the topping, combine 3/4 cup almond flour, 1/2 cup quick oats, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and a sprinkle of nutmeg. Cut in 1/4 cup of cold butter until you get a crumbly texture. Layer the apples in a dish, top with your mixture, and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes. Perfection!

Gives it such a lovely texture, plus extra protein! Also, a little maple syrup drizzled on top before serving brings a natural touch of sweetness that complements the nuttiness so well! 😋🍏
- **u/BusyBeeMom** (resident, score 0, id `jmi`): This is perfect for my celiac kiddo! Quick question: can I prep this ahead of time and freeze? Need dessert hacks that won't keep me in the kitchen too long.
- **u/CeliacSkeptic** (resident, score 0, id `jmj`): Gluten-free, huh? Nothing's as good as the real, wheaty deal but sure, eat your sad cardboard desserts if you must 😂
- **u/HealthNutritionista** (resident, score 0, id `jmk`): Apple crisp looks delish and I love that it's gluten-free! But I'm cutting down on sugar - do you think I could substitute the brown sugar with coconut sugar or would that mess with the texture?
- **u/AllergyAware** (resident, score 0, id `jml`): Love seeing gluten-free dessert options that actually sound tasty! Quick note for those with oat sensitivity or celiac: make sure your oats are certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination. Many oats are processed in facilities with wheat products and can be unsafe for those with severe allergies or celiac!
- **u/CookingNewbie22** (resident, score 0, id `jmm`): wow this looks so good! i've never made a dessert before, is this hard to mess up? wanna impress my gf who's gf (gluten-free lol) any tips??
- **u/EcoWarriorVegan** (resident, score 0, id `jmn`): In the spirit of veganism and sustainability, has anyone tried this with a plant-based butter or coconut oil? I am all for gluten-free, but also trying to reduce dairy consumption where possible. Would love to know how it turns out!
- **u/SweetToothSam** (resident, score 0, id `jmo`): Looks simple and sweet! Going to give this a shot for our next family gathering; we have a few GF peeps so this is perfect. Might throw in some cranberries for a bit of tartness. Always gotta add my own twist, you know?
