Ingredients
  

  • 5 Golden Delicious apples
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¾ cup King Arthur Flour Gluten-Free Measure for Measure Flour
  • ¾ cup gluten free old fashioned oats
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut into 1 inch pieces

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 and grease a 9-inch pie plate. 
  • Peel and core apples. Slice apples into about ¼-½inch thick slices. Arrange in prepared pie plate. 
  • In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, oats and cinnamon. Add butter and cut in using your hands or a pastry blender, until crumbly and butter is the size of peas. 
  • Press crumble mixture over apples. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until crumble is browned. 
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.Make sure that you slice the apples approximately the same size, about 1/4 -1/2 inch thick. That way all of the apples will cook evenly. Use cold butter for the crumble, otherwise you’ll end up with something more like a dry bowl of porridge than crumble. I find clean hands to be the best tool for mixing up the crumble and cutting in the butter. If you have a pastry blender, that works well too. Just remember, the butter will be cold, so it’s a little more difficult to work with, which I why I prefer to use my hands to break it up.
