Gluten Free Apple and Cinnamon Crumble

Jump to Recipe

This gluten free apple and cinnamon crumble is everything I  didn’t expect a gluten free crumble couldn’t be. Crunchy, sweet and oh so satisfying.

Pin me!

I don’t really make gluten free things often, however when I received some oat flour from BuyWholeFoodsOnline.com I knew I had to make a dessert with it. And what more satisfying dessert is there than an apple crumble on a rainy autumn evening?

The oat flour pairs perfectly with the ground almonds, and gives the topping a very satisfying crunch. This was my first time using oat flour, and it took me a few tries to get the consistency I wanted; however once I got it I loved it. It gives it an earthiness and crunch that plain flour doesn’t give. The oat flour I am using is by BuyWholeFoodsOnline and can be purchased via their website.

If you don’t have ground almonds you can just chuck in some flaked ones in a food processor and grind them. For this I like to use my nutribullet.

For the filling I used granny smith apples, and part cooked them before hand. I do this to ensure they are soft throughout. They pair perfectly with the sweet spiciness and warmth of the cinnamon. I never used to like cinnamon, but lately I cannot get enough of it, particularly when it’s baked like in my cinnamon palmier or with fruit like in my upside down peach cake.

This recipe is for an individual portion, however you can just double it accordingly if you wish to make a bigger one. I am using a small Pyrex did like this one.
