Apple Crisp With Pecan and Oat Topping (Gluten Free)


It's been a while since I've posts a delicious recipe, so I thought I'd kick off this week with a yummy apple crisp with pecan & oat topping (that's also gluten free). As soon as I saw this over at Creature Comforts, I knew I had to share it with you guys. Make sure to head over there to see all the delicious pictures... they are drool worthy.

Ingredients (Filling)
4-5 apples (peeled, cored, and chopped into small pieces)
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans (unsalted)
3 Tablespoons all-purpose gluten-free flour mix
1/2 cup, plus 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Ingredients (Topping)
2/3 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour mix
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
6 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans
2 teaspoons granulated sugar

  • Directions
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place 7-8 small ramekins onto a baking sheet and set aside.

    Directions (Filling)
    1. Prepare all filling ingredients and mix together until fully incorporated.
    2. Scoop mixture into ramekins, filling with the same amount in each. Be sure to leave a small amount of room at the top of each ramekin for the topping. Set aside.

    Directions (Topping)
    1. Mix the gluten-free flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, cinnamon and salt in large bowl.
    2. Cut the butter into the mixture using a pastry cutter or two butter knives until it forms pea size lumps.
    3. Stir in pecans and granulated sugar (if desired) until fully incorporated.
    4. Sprinkle a generous scoop of topping onto the apple filling in each ramekin. Use the palm of your hand to press and pack topping down.

    Bake crisps for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly decadent treat!

    Enjoy!
