Having guests over for a visit, and now you are looking for a great recipe for a warm dessert with apples for guests that gluten intolerant? You have found a great recipe idea here that is quick and easy too!
I made this warm apple dessert this past weekend, and it turned out scrumptiously scrumptious!
I made this crumble using fresh apples and dried cranberries, however, you can leave out the cranberries and it will taste equally delicious!
Ingredients
FOR THE FRUIT FILLING
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg, optional
2 tbsp. cornstarch
8 - 10 medium size apples, peeled, cored and sliced
3/4 cup dried, sweetened cranberries, optional
1 tsp. almond extract
FOR THE CRUMBLE TOPPING
1/3 rolled oats
1/3 cup ground almonds *see tip below
1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg, optional
3 tbsp. cold butter, cut into pieces
Note - Always be sure to check the ingredient list carefully. Some people following gluten-free diets cannot eat cornstarch or certain oats, etc. Requirements seem to vary from diet to diet.
Directions
FOR THE FRUIT FILLING
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (optional) and the cornstarch.
Add the prepared fruit to the bowl and the almond extract and toss to coat the fruit.
Set aside.
FOR THE CRUMBLE TOPPING
In a medium size bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, ground almonds, brown sugar, cinnamon and the nutmeg (optional).
Add the butter, and using a fork, or your fingers (!), mix the butter into the oat mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Transfer the apple and cranberry (optional) mixture to a greased 8" square of round baking dish.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit.
Bake at 375° F on the lower third rack of the oven.
Bake for about 40 - 45 minutes until the fruit has bubbled up around the edges of the dessert, and the topping has browned nicely.
Serve apple crumble warm, or at room temperature.
Serves 6 - 8.
Baking Tip
A simple way to grind almonds is using your blender.
If you have a small appliance, for example, a "magic bullet" they work very well for grinding nuts. These small blenders/grinders are handy in that they also require very little clean-up.
I highly recommend the "magic bullet", they can be used to make amazing smoothies - right into the drinking cup(!), baby food, and much more.
