Gluten-Free Apple Oatmeal Crisp Recipe

Gluten-Free Apple Oatmeal Crisp is an allergy-friendly dessert, perfect for Fall, Winter, and the holidays.

Gluten-Free Apple Oatmeal Crisp

Gluten-Free Apple Oatmeal Crisp

One of my kids’ favorite desserts when the weather gets cooler is apple crisp. This season, I’ve played around with a few gluten-free apple crisp toppings since one of my kids is on a gluten-free diet. I’ve made a few variations the past several weeks, and finally came up with a gluten-free topping for apple crisp that everyone likes (this apple crisp is also dairy free and vegan).

I know I’ve got a winner when my skeptical kids (a.k.a. picky eaters) ask “Is this really gluten-free? Hmm ’cause it’s really good.” In addition to being gluten-free, this Apple Oatmeal Crisp is also dairy-free and refined sugar-free.  Use your favorite baking apples in this dessert – I used Macoun apples from the local farmer’s market, as suggested by the vendor at the market, but I’ve also used Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Braeburn and Ginger Gold before, all with good results.

We visited my sister-in-law and her family over the weekend, and I made a big pan of this Gluten-Free Apple Oatmeal Crisp and a loaf of Gluten-Free Pumpkin Coffee Cake, so we could all enjoy a nice fall dessert one evening and breakfast the next morning that my little guy could also eat. I’ve learned that when we travel to other cities or other people’s houses, it’s a lot less stressful if I bring along some of our own gluten-free foods — that way, I know my little guy always has something he can eat.  An extra bonus is when everyone else thinks these gluten-free treats are really good.

I’ve already made this Apple Crisp a bunch of times this fall, and I’m planning on making it for Thanksgiving too.

    I love apple crisp for breakfast — it always feels a bit sinful, but I put a big dollop of cottage cheese or yogurt on top!

    Jeanette, we love apple crisps over here too. I love your addition of brown rice flour both for texture and flavor.

      Thanks Marla, I found the combination of brown rice four and whole oats made for just the right crumbly texture.

    Thanks Junia – this is definitely a healthier version of the traditional apple crisp, and allergy-friendly, which is what I was striving for with the wheat allergies and dairy intolerances in my family.

    I keep reading about jaggery but have never tried it. I have to look into getting some and try it. A healthier alternative to white sugar.
    Your apple crisp looks great! Thanks for sharing Jeanette

      I do love jaggery as a substitute for brown sugar. You can find it in your local Indian market.

    Could I use maple syrup instead of what you’re using for sweetener? I am in VT and we have maple galore. No jaggery to be found in these hills! We are gluten, refined sugar and dairy free, but can eat butter. Sounds fussy but we feel great and eat like kings. Thanks for all your great posts.

      Maple syrup should work fine, although since it’s a liquid, the topping might be a little softer. You could also use coconut sugar if you can find it in your area. Would love to know if you try it and how it comes out with maple syrup.

    I am on a diet and trying to eat healthier by avoiding wheat and processed sugar, but was craving something sweet to make without added chemicals or trans fat. And once in a while I like to bake, so I found your awesome recipe and tried it. Considering the ingredients in them, I thought it was quite tasty! It can’t compare to my usual super buttery, fatty, and sugar cobbler, but it’s still a tasty treat and that is a win in my book!

    I should of added more of the ‘sugar’ as blueberries are kinda low as they are, but there’s always next time 🙂 Thanks for sharing this great recipe!

    I tried this recipe but made some substitutions:

    A. Used blueberries instead of apples.
    B. Used a Natural Sugar Substitute (Monkfruit in the raw)
    C. Used butter instead of coconut oil (Because that’s what I had and a little butter is ok for my diet)
    D. Added brown rice (about 3/4 cup) cooked. (this helped give the texture more chewiness without adding more butter or fat – You couldn’t tell it was in the topping).
    E. Sprinkled some salt on top
