Ingredients

For the Filling:

1 ½ pounds apples peeled and sliced (about 5 medium apples, see notes)
1 teaspoon orange zest 3 g
1 teaspoon lemon zest 3 g
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¼ cup light brown sugar 60 g
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 g
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons cornstarch 18 g

For the Topping:

¾ cup gluten free flour blend 103 g, see notes
½ teaspoon xanthan gum 2 g – omit if your flour blend contains it
1/3 cup granulated sugar 73 g
1/3 cup light brown sugar 75 g
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
½ cup gluten free old-fashioned oats 50 g
½ cup butter cubed and cold ( 4 oz.)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray a 9x9 inch baking dish or 9-inch deep dish pie plate with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, orange zest, lemon zest, lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Mix well and pour into the prepared baking dish.
To make the topping, add the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and oats to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix to combine.
Add the cubed butter and mix on low to incorporate. When the dough starts to come together, crumble it over the top of the apples.
Place the baking dish over a rimmed baking sheet (in case the apples bubble over) and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until the topping is browned/crisp and the apples are bubbling.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream.

Notes

For this recipe, I used a mixture of 3 Granny Smith Apples, 1 Honey Crisp Apple, and 1 Golden Delicious Apple but any combination of baking apples will work!
I use my Nightshade-Free Gluten Free Flour Mix in this recipe.
