My favorite fall recipe ever is my Mom’s Apple Crisp. (You may have heard me mention it a few dozen times now on CNC.) It’s so incredibly easy to make, and it always turns out so well (seriously, it’s incredible), so I decided to use her recipe as inspiration for a gluten-free apple crisp.
This gluten-free apple crisp is also really easy to make and almost as delicious as my mom’s. I honestly don’t think there’s a better apple crisp out there than hers, but this gluten-free one comes close!
Easy Gluten-Free Apple Crisp

Description
An easy and delicious gluten-free version of my mom’s favorite apple crisp.
Ingredients
Scale
5 medium apples (any variety)
2 cups of almond meal
1/2 cup melted coconut oil
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
cinnamon and nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Haphazardly slice apples into small pieces and add them to a 9” X 9” (or round) baking dish.
- Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg all over the apples. Feel free to add as much or as little as you’d like. I usually go crazy with the cinnamon and add just a little bit of nutmeg for some spice.
- In a mixing bowl, add almond meal, sugar, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and more cinnamon (to taste). Combine ingredients until the mixture looks lumpy and coconut oil is fully absorbed into the almond flour.
- Pour the almond flour mixture over the apple slices and spread around evenly.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes until the top becomes lighted browned and “crisp” and apples are soft.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve alone or with vanilla ice cream.

Oooh, I bet the almond meal and coconut oil make these extra delicious! I’ll have to try this recipe out after I hit up the apple orchard next weekend 🙂
Yum!!! Super simple and vegan too! Love it! What did we ever do without coconut oil!!!
Woohoo! And it’s vegan! This recipe looks awesome. Thanks!
Oh my gosh. Yum! I’ve been using almond meal a lot lately and love it! Thanks for the tips!
I don’t have almond meal and I looked at the original recipe but really want to use this one. Can I just sub in the flour for almond meal and leave the rest of the recipe the same? I just don’t want to make another trip to the store in the rain with 2 kids for one ingredient:) Thanks so much!!
@Amanda: Do you have whole almonds? Just grind them up into a meal in a blender/food processor. I do this with my bulk bag of almonds I purchase 🙂
I love me some good apple crisp! I love easy recipes even more 🙂 This looks delicious, Tina! Thanks for sharing.
looks perfect! a few years ago we had our first apple crisp and fell in love. we need to make this 🙂
Yum! I’m currently being tested for a gluten allergy and as much as I’m crossing my fingers and toes that it comes back negative, recipes like this make the prospect of a gluten-free life less depressing!
Nothing better than apple crisp or apple pie! Thanks for gluten-free-ifying (totally a word) this!
This looks awesome! I love apple crisp!
I have vegan and gluten-free folks in the house! It’ll be nice to have something that we can all share instead of me finishing off an entire pan of non-vegan apple crisp by myself. Which totally has never happened or anything…
this recipe looks so easy and delicious!
Looks so delicious! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
haha, so glad I just saw this. I was just about to make some apple crisp as a study break treat since I’ve so many apples. Now I wish I had some coconut oil.
What a perfect fall dessert! Quick and easy, and looks amazing! Love the fact that it’s gluten free!
Looks like a dish Mom would still be proud of :). Gluten free just means a happy tummy, and more to eat, right? 🙂
This is so simple! My husband would love this!!

That looks delicious, I love the use of almond meal in it too 🙂
My neighbor’s have apples literally falling from their trees right now…my kids picked a ton..now I have something to make with all of them!
this is random, but it made me think of murphy: http://www.buzzfeed.com/chelseamarshall/one-sad-pug-in-21-adorable-hats
Oh my gosh! Hahaha!
Heaven!!!!
This looks super delicious! And it’s vegan 🙂 Definitely giving it a try tonight!
This looks YUMMY! We just picked 26 pounds of apples the other week and I need apple recipes like NOW. lol You should try the Apple Baked Oatmeal recipe I put on my blog this week. It’s pretty heavenly!
Have a great weekend!
WOW! Wow is all i can say. Like many of us, I avoid gluten year round not just pre contest but I love these kinds of desserts. Im definitely making this for dinner this weekend 🙂 Thank you!!
This is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for! Any idea if subbing in stevia for the sugar would be an even swap in terms of the amount?
I’m not sure. I’ve never used stevia in my baking. Sorry!
@Sarah G.: Hi Sarah! Don’t mean to butt in – I recently developed a recipe and used that Stevia/Brown Sugar Blend. It worked perfectly, but reduced the amount of sugar used.
@Jenny: I should have said “and” reduced the amount of sugar used– I sub it out tbsp to tbsp.
Wow for something that’s gluten free this look really delicious! I’ll have to look in to making it. Already have a tasty pumpkin pie on the list for this weekend though! Canadian Thanksgiving is on Monday so we have plenty of food to eat this weekend.
This.is.awesome. Apple crisp is my favorite dessert, hands down, and I’ve been wanting to do a gluten free version. Yours looks awesome and I can’t wait to make it!
This looks so damn good!
