Ingredients

For the Crumble Topping:

  • 1 cup gluten-free 1:1 baking flour 160 grams
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar 160 grams
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons butter 113 grams, melted

For the Apple Filling:

  • 2 ½ pounds Granny Smith apples peeled cored, and sliced or diced into bite sized pieces (about 6 to 7 cups)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar 65 grams
  • 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly spray an 8 or 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Make the Crumble Topping:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free 1:1 baking flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt until evenly combined. Pour in the melted butter and stir with a fork until crumbly.

Make the Apple Filling:

  • In a large bowl, add the apples, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt. Mix to evenly combine then pour into the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer.
  • Sprinkle the crumble mixture in pea-sized pieces evenly over the top of the filling.
  • Bake for 35-45 minutes, until bubbling and golden brown on top.
  • Let cool for 15 minutes before serving. Top with ice cream if desired and enjoy!

Notes

MAKE IT DAIRY-FREE: Use Earth Balance Buttery Sticks in place of the butter.
LESS SUGAR? Reduce the amount of sugar in the filling by 1/2. 
APPLES - Feel free to use the season’s best apples for this recipe. I like to use Granny Smith apples, but you can use a variety of apples!
MAKE IT MINI! This apple crumble can also be baked in individual ramekins. Reduce the bake time by 10 minutes.
