Gluten-Free Apple Crumble

This is a great recipe. I decided to use some frozen plums that I had as the main fruit and added diced apples (from two medium apples). I cut the amount of white sugar in half and liked the slight tartness. I served it with vanilla ice cream. Definitely a keeper!!

I was very upset that I couldn’t remember where I had found this recipe, then aha! I have been making apple crisp for decades and this one stood out. Agree that you can use less sugar.

We loved this one. I couldn’t find rice flour, so I used a combination of cornstarch and oat flour. I’d probably peel the apples next time, but otherwise I loved this dish.

My grocery store didn’t have rice flour so I used Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 GF baking flour in place of all of the flours in this recipe and it turned out great. Apples weren’t as bubbly as it said so might try adding a little extra butter/cooking liquid next time

Delicious. We substituted a few dashes of maple syrup for the sugar. Also added cranberries. Will make this again!

Has anyone tried freezing this?

this is so, so good. My wary family now call it the only recipe we need to have when making apple desserts. Pity it has 'gluten-free' in title as probably many will skip right over it, there is so much more going on that makes this special - something about the finely chopped nuts, baking the apples then putting the topping on, I don't know. It's just a super big win. Oh, and I cut the sugar back by a third, def was fine, even to the 'load it on' sugar lovers This might depend on your apples.

I baked as directed except that I read the notes about the sweetness and decided to add some Montmorency pie cherries, since I had them in the freezer. What a delightful dessert! My husband laughed,” I know what I want for breakfast!”

Did not add white sugar and it was sweet enough, even using Granny Smith apples. Used corn starch instead of rice flour (which we did not have) in the topping. Enjoyed greatly and will make again.

This was a huge hit at a pot luck with folks from 20s to 70s. No one knew it was gluten free

I agree, the water should be included in the list of ingredients. I left it out and almost burned the apples. For the crumble part, I used 1/2 cp raw cooking oats and 1/2 cup rice flour instead of oat flour. I would reduce the sugar next time.

Made this last night. Overall thumbs up (good process for ensuring that the walnuts don’t burn, nice not to peel the apples) but the next time I definitely will reduce both sugars, maybe even by half.

I made this exactly as written, one substantive change. I substituted "plant" butter in as I'm dairy allergic. I also made an 1/2 again as much as I had 10 colleagues to serve. It worked fine in a 3 qt dish. I did need to cook about 5 minutes longer total (a few minutes more to get the apples bubbling and a few minutes more for the topping to be fully browned). As far, everyone is loving it - including me! Yum.

Step one mentions 1/4c of water, which isn't mentioned in the list of ingredients... Wondering if this can be fixed with the online version.

Glad I found this easy, delicious recipe. Made this again today. I'm a rather lazy cook, so I just crunch the walnuts into small bits, and use quick-cooking gluten-free oats for the topping. Also, I use only granulated raw sugar. Needed this to be vegan, so I use a plant oil buttery spread instead of the butter. I also put pinch of ground cloves as well as cardamom in the topping. Smells like Christmas!
