Ingredients
For the filling
  • 4 Granny Smith apples cored and cut into small chunks
  • 1/2 C granulated sugar 100g
  • 1 tbs gluten-free all-purpose flour 8g
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
For the crumble
  • 1 C all-purpose gluten-free flour 125g

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 150 g butter or dairy-free margarine cold and cubed

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray baking pan with non-stick spray.
For the crumble

For the filling

  1. Add the chopped apples, sugar and cinnamon to a small saucepan with approximately 1/2 cup water.  Heat on a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples have softened.

  2. Add the flour to the apple mixture and continue to stir until the liquid has thickened into a syrup.

  3. Pour the apple mixture into the baking pan and layer with crumble topping.

  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples have reached the desired texture. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

  5. Serve warm with cream or other toppings of choice.
Recipe Notes

To make this grain-free:

For the apples - use tapioca starch instead of the all purpose flour and dissolve in  2 tbs hot water prior to adding to the apple mixture.

For the crumble - use coconut flakes instead of the oats, 3/4 cup almond flour and 1/4 cup tapioca starch instead of the all purpose flour and coconut sugar instead of brown sugar.
