Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl combine cored, peeled and sliced apples with sugar, arrowroot powder, lemon juice, cinnamon and apple pie spice. Stir until apples are coated. Pour this mixture into a 9x13 baking dish.
In the bowl of your stand mixer combine the topping ingredients: rolled oats, brown sugar, brown rice flour, sea salt, melted butter and chopped pecans. Mix until a crumble forms. Pour this crumble mixture over the apples in the 9x13 pan.
Bake for 30 minutes or until the topping is browned and the apple mixture is bubbling.
Let cool slightly before serving. I like to serve my apple crisp warm with vanilla ice cream on top.

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.
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.
