Gluten Free Apple Crumble Recipe
This gluten free apple crumble recipe is a great autumn dessert. A 3-ingredient crumble topping with a sweet apple filling. Enjoy with or without oats - with a dairy free/vegan option too.
Servings: 4 portions
Equipment
Ingredients
For the filling:
- 2-3 large cooking apples (approx 750g, Bramley or Granny Smith)
- 1 tbsp dark brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
For the crumble:
- 150 g gluten free self-raising flour
- 100 g unsalted butter
- 75 g caster sugar
- 50 g gluten free oats (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180'C / Fan 160C / Gas Mark 4.
- Peel and core the apples then cut into 1-2cm chunks. You want enough to cover the base of a 20cm pie dish in a thick layer with no gaps, so you may need 2 or 3 apples depending on their size.
- Place the apple chunks in the pie dish and then add the sugar and cinnamon and stir (you can do this in a bowl then pour into the dish if easier - it's a bit less messy!). Set aside.
- Make the crumble by adding the butter, sugar and flour into a large mixing bowl. Use your fingers to rub the mix together until it forms a breadcrumb consistency.
- If using oats, add to the crumble topping and stir them through to distribute evenly. Pour the crumble over the fruit, making sure the fruit is all covered.
- Place in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until the crumble is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling underneath. You want the fruit to be soft but with a little bite. Remove from the oven and serve hot with custard or ice-cream.

Notes
- No Self-Raising Flour? If you only have plain (or all purpose) gluten free flour, simply add 1.5 tsp of gluten free baking powder to the flour and mix well before adding to the crumble.
- Variations: I have lots of ideas for variations below this recipe card, from adding oats and granola, to chopped nuts or even different spices. To make this recipe dairy free/vegan, swap the butter for a vegan alternative.
- Storing and Freezing: Any leftover apple crumble can be kept in the fridge or frozen. Reheating is best done in the oven, as it can go a bit soft in the microwave. Leftovers in the fridge will keep for 2-3 days.
