Buttery Apple Crumble

With Thanksgiving around the corner, I’m getting excited about trying some new recipes for turkey day… especially ones that are gluten free friendly. I’ve been playing around with dessert ideas and in the process, I came across this recipe for a Buttery Apple Crumble. Sliced apples are tossed with vanilla and sugar and topped with a blanket of flour, butter, cinnamon and sugar before baking up to a bubbly goodness. To put it over the top, a healthy scoop (or two) of vanilla bean ice cream and a drizzle of buttery sweet caramel seals the deal…

This was especially good and really captured the deliciousness of fall. I’ve been enjoying the apple recipes I’ve tried lately and this one is right up there. The original recipe called for whole wheat flour and rolled oats, but I substituted those with a gluten free flour blend. Feel free to try it with the oats and even chopped nuts (walnuts would be good in this) for some additional flavor and texture. This crumble makes for a nice alternative to a pie, without the stress of dealing with a pie crust!
