Inside: Gluten-Free Apple Crisp

I love apple pie. Unfortunately, making a perfect apple pie gluten-free usually leaves a lot to be desired. The pie crust just isn’t the same. Maybe sometime in the future this will change.

In the meantime, I can satisfy my craving for apple pie with this delicious Gluten-Free Apple Crisp {which is also Paleo-friendly). Full of healthy ingredients, this recipe won’t send your blood sugars soaring, but will still satisfy any apple dessert lover’s craving.

Step 1:

Peel and thinly slice apples. I prefer using a countertop apple-peeler-corer.

Place apples in bowl.

2. Prepare the Apple Filling

Add together in separate bowl: cornstarch/flour, sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, lemon juice, salt, and spices. Stir together and when well blended pour over the sliced apples and stir until well blended.

3. Prepare the Topping

Add dry ingredients to bowl. Stir to blend. Add in butter ghee or coconut oil one tablespoon at a time. Using a fork, blend together until it becomes crumbly. Hint: If you refrigerate for a few minutes, your Crumb Topping will be a little more crumbly.

4. The Topping

Sprinkle Topping over sliced apples.
