Apple pie is a common staple in our home; especially around the holidays. Scott's claim to fame is that he can eat an entire apple pie by himself! I love apple pie too but making gluten free pie crust can be a lot of work. This recipe tastes just as good but is so easy to make. The sweet, cinnamon-y apples topped with crunchy streusel make it impossible to have just one serving. We're making it for Christmas dessert this year but it makes a great treat during any season.
Ingredients:
About 5-6 medium apples (I like to use granny smith and golden delicious)
2 TBS sugar
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup uncooked gluten free oats
1/3 cup all purpose gluten free flour
4 TBS unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Peel apples and slice them to your desired thickness (I leave mine pretty thin).
3. Mix apples with sugar, cinnamon and 1/8 tsp salt. Put mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking pan.
4. In the same bowl combine the brown sugar, oats, flour and 1/8 tsp salt. Use your fingers to add the butter to the mixture until incorporated. *I like to double the streusel mixture so that it covers the apples in a thicker crust.
5. Cover the apples with the streusel mixture. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, until the apples are tender and topping is crispy. Allow it to cool for about 30 minutes before serving. Serve with ice cream, whipped cream or plain.
