Ingredients
Crumble Topping
- â…” cup light or dark brown sugar
- 2 cup old-fashioned whole rolled oats (certified GF)
- 1 cup almond meal or almond flour*
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- â…” cup unsalted butter, melted
Apple Filling
- 5 cups peeled & chopped Granny Smith apples
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- ½ cup light or dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1½ tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a pie pan or similar. 9" dish is about the right size (see note below).
Apple Filling
- Stir all of the filling ingredients together in a large bowl. Make sure the apples are evenly coated. Spread evenly into prepared pan.
Crumble Topping
- Stir the brown sugar, oats, and almond meal together. Break up any large clumps of brown sugar. Stir in the cinnamon and salt. Once combined, stir in the melted butter. Sprinkle topping over the apples.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the filing is bubbly, the apples are a little soft, and the topping is browned. If it looks like the topping is browning too quickly, cover the top loosely with aluminum foil about halfway through baking time. Allow to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Notes
A 9″ pie dish is about the right size, but if you like a higher apple filling-to-crumble ratio, choose a deeper dish/pan and adjust the amount of apple filling. Cooking time may take a little longer.
