Gluten-Free Apple Crumble
A true classic for cosy evenings, this Gluten-Free Apple Crumble is a dessert that never goes out of style. Whether it’s the middle of autumn or you’re just craving something sweet and warming, this recipe ticks all the boxes. It’s one of those nostalgic bakes that brings you right back to your childhood. The smell of buttery crumble topping and bubbling apples filling the house is pure comfort.
Enjoy it warm with a generous spoon of custard, a dollop of whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. And if there are leftovers (a big if in our house), trust me, it makes a spectacular breakfast the next morning too! 😉
What Apples Work Best?
The beauty of this recipe is that you can use whatever apples you have on hand. Personally, I love the tartness of Granny Smith apples, but Golden Delicious or Fuji are great too. You can even use a mix of sweet and tart apples for a bit of balance.
The Perfect Oaty Crumble Topping
Some traditional apple crumbles skip the oats, but I’m firmly in the crispy oat topping camp. I use gluten-free oats for extra texture and crunch, it gives the crumble that golden, toasty finish that’s just irresistible.
You can also add chopped nuts like pecans or almonds to your crumble for a nutty twist. It’s optional, but adds a delicious extra crunch.
Make Ahead & Freezer Friendly
One of the best things about this gluten-free apple crumble is how easy it is to make ahead. You can prep it earlier in the day, keep it in the fridge, and pop it in the oven when ready. You can even freeze it before baking. Perfect for busy weeks or last-minute guests.
