Best Gluten Free Apple Crisp Recipe - Build Your Bite (2024)

This delicious fall gluten free apple crisp recipe is a must make dessert. Juicy bubbling apple crisp is topped with the perfect gluten free topping made with oats.

Apple crisp is a crowd pleasing dessert that not only makes your kitchen smell incredible, but makes everyone who tastes it fall in love! It’s a fall must have.

Years ago, I perfected my vegan apple crisp recipe, and I am putting a spin on that to make it gluten free.

Inspired by the filling for that recipe, and using the crisp topping from this blueberry peach crisp recipe, I was able to create the ultimate gluten free apple crisp!

Every fall I find myself making all the fresh apple recipes. Another one of our favorites is baked cinnamon apples.

There is nothing like the cozy smell of spiced apples baking in the oven to really get me in the fall mood!

How to make apple crisp filling

For the filling, you will need 6 cups of granny smith apple chunks.Once you have cut up the apples, place them in a bowl.

Next, add the lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cornstarch.

Give it a stir to combine and let it all marinate while you make the crisp topping.

How to make gluten free crisp topping

In a bowl, whisk together the sugar, gluten free oat flour, gluten free rolled oats, and salt.

Melt the coconut oil and vegan butter in a microwave safe bowl until they turn to liquid.

Pour the melted butter and oil onto the whisked ingredients, then use a rubber spatula to mix it all together until it resembled wet sand.

Use a small baking dish or pie plate for baking.

First, add the apple filling and spread out evenly.

Top with the crisp topping spread out to cover the apples in an even layer.

Bake at 350 degrees until your gluten free apple crisp is bubbly and golden browned on top.

Serve with ice cream (dairy free to keep this vegan) for the perfect bite!

The baked apples topped with crunchy oat crisp are heaven in your mouth.

This recipe easily makes 10 servings or more, but be warned that you won’t be able to stop at just one serving!

This is best served fresh for best texture of the topping, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for around 3 days.

This brown sugar, warm, gooey apple crisp is absolutely irresistible!
