Crisp topping
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, certified gluten free
- ¼ cup oat flour, certified gluten free
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1½ teaspoon cinnamon

- In the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish, toss together the apple slices and cinnamon.
- Evenly sprinkle the crisp topping over the apples.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the crisp topping is golden brown and the apples are fork tender. Let cool slightly in the pan before serving. Serve warm.
Notes
Note: Use any apple variety that’s good for baking, according to your taste preference. If you’re here in Ontario, some local varieties to try include, Northern Spy, Cortland, Crispin, Idared, Jonagold and McIntosh. You can also use Granny Smith.
Top Tips
- If during baking your crisp topping starts to become too brown but the apples aren’t cooked yet, cover with a piece of aluminum foil and continue baking until done.
- Serve warm – Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whip cream.
- Make it dairy free and vegan: replace the butter with your favourite non-dairy butter stick or margarine.
- Leftovers will keep in the fridge for 3 – 4 days.
