Ingredients

For the filling
6 apples peeled, cored, and sliced
2 tbsp caster sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp lemon juice
For the crumble topping
150 g gluten-free plain flour
100 g dairy-free butter or dairy-free baking block
75 g light brown sugar
40 g gluten-free oats

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C / 160°C fan / gas mark 4.
Place the sliced apples in an ovenproof dish.
Add the caster sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice, then mix gently to coat the apples.
In a separate bowl, rub the gluten-free plain flour and dairy-free butter together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Stir in the light brown sugar and gluten-free oats.
Spoon the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
Bake for 30–35 minutes until the topping is golden and the apples are soft.
Leave to stand for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Cooking apples work well, but eating apples can also be used for a sweeter crumble.
Check that your oats are certified gluten-free if needed for your dietary requirements.
Serve warm on its own or with a suitable dairy-free custard or dairy-free cream.
