Since the weather here has turned beautifully fall and it is apple season here in Nebraska… I decided to make apple crisp yesterday afternoon to take to a pot luck!
To prepare the apples:
Toss in a large bowl:
7 or 8 diced up apples (seeds & core removed), I used Honeycrisp
the zest of 1 lemon
zest of 1 orange
the juice from the lemon
2-3 tablespoons of orange juice
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground clove
1 heaping teaspoon ground cardamon (you know I love cardamon!)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Toss until the apple pieces are completely coated. The pour into a large baking dish. I used a deep 9x13 ceramic baking dish.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
To prepare the crumble topping:
In another bowl:
2 sticks of cold butter, diced
1 1/2 cups Domata flour
cut the butter into the flour until is resembles fine crumbs, you can use a pastry cutter if you have one otherwise just use a fork.
Add in:
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 cup gluten free oatmeal
stir all together with a fork - should be crumbly!
Lightly pour over the apples. Try not to pack down the topping otherwise it will bake into a cookie!!
Put the ceramic dish on a baking sheet to prevent overflow incase the apples bubble up.
Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour to 1.5 hours. This just depends on your oven…and how juicy your apples are… Check on it after an hour.
This is a great dish because well… it's sure great hot with some ice cream, but it's just as good once it's cooled down! Plus it travels pretty well if you're heading to a pot luck!
If you have leftovers, keep them covered in the fridge.
Enjoy!!
