This time of the year brings a plethora of fruits and vegetables and one of our very favorites is apples.
I love apple desserts, and especially gluten-free apple crisp:
I love to make applesauce, pies, cakes, and this very yummy gluten-free apple crisp. Every time I make a dessert like this I truly believe it makes my children come out of the wood work. We have four kids and two are grown and moved out and still have two at home. I make this recipe in a 9ร13 pan which I thought was going to allow me some leftovers, boy was I ever wrong. I will be making another one ASAP because everyone liked it so much. The family was so excited about this crisp that every time I turned around they were asking, can we have some yet? This is a simple recipe people will think you spent hours preparing, a dollop of whipping cream or vanilla ice cream is a wonderful tasty accent.
Choosing apples for your gluten-free apple crisp:
The best apples to use in a crisp are tart baking apples, such as Granny Smith, Pippin or Lady apples. Pink Lady apples (also called Cripps Pink) are a pink & green skinned hybrid that also work well. Fuji apples will also work well in this gluten-free apple crisp. If you use sweeter apples, you may want to add a squeeze of lemon to the apple mixture.
