    This gluten free apple crisp is easy to make from scratch. The homemade topping is made with oats which makes this a healthier option. This simple recipe is similar to the old fashioned apple crisp I grew up eating.

    I like to mix sweet and tart apples in this recipe to give this dessert a mix of flavors. This gluten free apple crisp is delicious warm served with vanilla ice cream. It is simple to make this dessert ahead of time and simply reheat it to serve.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can gluten free apple crisp be made with oats?

    Yes. You will just need to make sure that the oats you are using are certified gluten free. Regular rolled oats or oatmeal is typically processed along with wheat flour and can be contaminated with gluten. There will be a seal of certification on anything that is gluten free.

    What is the difference between a crumble and a crisp?

    The biggest difference is that a crisp contains oats and a crumble does not. Both a crumble and crisp are a topping that goes over a fruit mixture and is baked until bubbling and browned.

    A crisp gets its name because the oats in the topping will become crispy when baked. A crumble is usually made with a flour base and will not be crispy or crunchy.

    Is gluten free apple crisp simple to make?

    Yes! This is a very simple recipe to make. I make it frequently because it's easy to put together and to have a dessert in a hurry. You could even make it the day before you need it.
