I love Apple crumble but when I am out it’s hard to find a gluten free and not- too- sugary version, so in October when lovely apples are in season, I make my own. For this recipe, try to find the sweetest apples you can find instead of tart cooking apples (Fuji’s are ideal but Gala and Braeburn apples would work as well) so you only need a little bit of maple syrup to add extra sweetness.
It’s so easy to make and it taste and smell delicious!
INGREDIENTS (Serves 4)
For the topping
75g oats
30g gluten free flour
25g unsalted butter, melted
25g chopped pecans
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
For the filling
750g chopped red apples
2 tbsp cornflour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
METHOD
- Preheat the oven to 180˚C and grease an 8”-square pan.
- To make the topping, combine the oats, pecans, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add the maple syrup and melted butter and mix well.
- For the filling, mix the apples with the cornflour, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl until completely coated.
- Transfer the filling to the pan, and gently press down with a spatula. Sprinkle evenly with the topping and bake for 50-60 minutes or until the apple pieces are tender. Let it cool before serving.
