Easy Gluten Free Apple Crisp Recipe

| Filed Under: Dairy Free, Dessert, Fall, Gluten Free, Recipes

One of our favorite family activities to do in the fall is to take a few hours out of our busy week and pick apples together. We are blessed with a large number of great apple orchards here in Chicago and we try to hit up at least one each weekend! Our favorites are the smaller mom and pop orchards because you get lots of lovely heirloom and not super-popular grocery store varieties along with a beautiful country setting…love x one million!!! With a family of 6, we go through a half a bushel of apples like it’s nothing, making all sorts of apple goodies like homemade applesauce (recipe found here), caramel apple ice cream sundaes (recipe found here), apple cake, apple crumble, and one of most favorite desserts, Easy Gluten Free Apple Crisp! It whips up in no time and has good for you ingredients so you won’t feel so bad having seconds or thirds!Easy Gluten Free Apple Crisp Recipe // SmashedPeasandCarrots.com
Easy Gluten Free Apple Crisp Recipe // SmashedPeasandCarrots.com This recipe is gluten and dairy free and tastes like a million bucks. You can also use regular flour and oats if you aren’t concerned with gluten and it shouldn’t affect the taste one bit! I like to use a variety of apples to make our crisps so really, anything you have on hand will do…MacIntosh, Gala, Jonagold, Golden Delicious, etc…we’ve used them all and they all taste great in this crisp! If you really like the “crisp” part of the crisp, may I suggest doubling it? We fight over that part in our house so I always seem to make twice the amount!Easy Gluten Free Apple Crisp Recipe // SmashedPeasandCarrots.com

    Loved your story and your crisp sounds easy and delicious. Can you tell me what coconut oil in a solid state might be? Would that be like a solid type of coconut shortening like crisco? Thanks!

    • Maggie says

      Coconut oil in the solid state is just what you find in most stores in the baking aisles, like this one here: http://amzn.to/1jjt8QS You can use it in the solid state or warmed up in it’s liquid state but that will change the recipe some!

    do you have to you use coconut oil?

    What type of gluten free flour would work? Could I use coconut or tapioca flour?

    • Maggie says

      February 17, 2016 at 3:44 am

      I like to use all-purpose gluten free flour. If you use coconut or tapioca alone you will need to change the ratios as coconut especially is very dry!

      Would cassava flour work? Or banana flour?

      • Maggie says

        September 26, 2016 at 9:22 pm

        I have never tried them so I am not sure? If you try them out please let us know how the Crisp turned out!

      I used the new Bobs Red Mill paler flour and it worked perfectly!

    Hi does this freeze well? Can I make this in advance?

    • Maggie says

      October 10, 2016 at 12:04 am

      I’ve never froze it, so I am not sure!

    So I tried this recipe but the topping didn’t turn out crumbly. I followed the directions. Any ideas why this would happen?

    • Maggie says

      October 10, 2016 at 12:01 am

      I will need more details to help you, how did it turn out? Make sure you use coconut oil in the solid state!

    I made this tonight and had the same outcome as a previous reviewer with the crisp part. Mine was not crumbly at all…in fact, I could have poured it over the apples. I ended up doubling the dry ingredients and it turned out great. I will definitely make again! Thank you for the delicious recipe. I may try using only half of the syrup (1/4 cup instead of 1/2) or just double the dry ingredients again since I, too, love the crisp part.

    • Maggie says

      October 18, 2016 at 3:43 am

      Hmmm…did you use your coconut oil in the solid state and not liquid? That is the only thing I can think of that would make the crisp part not turn out right?!

  7. Judy says

    October 12, 2016 at 8:15 pm

    If I use crisco will it taste the same?

    • Maggie says

      October 13, 2016 at 6:15 pm

      I have never used it, I would personally not use it! 🙂

  8. Diane says

    November 3, 2016 at 5:10 pm

    Do you think I could use cold butter in place on the coconut oil? Thanks!

    • Maggie says

      November 4, 2016 at 3:24 am

      Yes, you could!

  9. Melissa says

    November 24, 2016 at 3:29 am

    This turned out beautifully and tastes great! I have to say, though, the prep time is way more than 5 min! ? Thanks for sharing this recipe!

    • Maggie says

      November 28, 2016 at 4:04 am

      Yay! So glad you liked it!!

    If I am making this in advance, like a day ahead, how should it be stored? On counter or in refrigerator? Thank you!

    • Maggie says

      December 19, 2016 at 3:15 am

      I leave mine on the countertop but the fridge would work fine too!
