This recipe was provided by our friends at The Gluten-Free Palate.

Ingredients

Yields six servings. Use a 9×13 (or equivalent size) baking dish.

• ½ cup gluten-free flour
• ½ cup almond flour
• ⅕ teaspoon salt
• ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • You’ll use 3 Tablespoons in the apple mixture and the remaining amount in the crumb mixture.
• ⅓ cup solid coconut oil
• 3 apples (Granny Smith ideally, but feel free to experiment with other varieties)
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• ¼ cup walnuts

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 360°F. Grease a baking dish.
2. In a bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, almond flour, salt and brown sugar (remember to reserve 3 Tablespoons).
3. Add solid coconut oil and mix ingredients to make crumbs (not a batter!). Refrigerate for 10-15 mins to allow the crumbs to harden.
4. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch, cinnamon, spices and the remaining sugar.
5. Slice apples and toss in bowl with spice mix until well-coated.
6. Transfer apples to a baking dish. Can be loosely layered, do not need to lie flat.
7. Grind walnuts into large crumbs (can use a mortal and pestle or a food processor to make this easier) and sprinkle over the apples.
8. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the nuts and apples.
9. Cover dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, flip dish and bake for another 20 minutes.
10. Serve warm, or, for an extra indulgent dessert, serve with whipped cream, caramel, or ice cream.
