Fall is the perfect time to bake something delicious, isn’t it?

Apple crisp is one of our favorites around here. It’s easy to make gluten free and allergy friendly, and it takes just a few ingredients.

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, adding fresh cranberries to an apple crisp just seemed like a good idea.

The tangy cranberries go very well with apples, and add a bright, festive color to this simple dessert. If you’re not a pie person, or if you’re just short on time, I’d encourage you to try making a crisp for Thanksgiving this year.

Ingredients

  • apples
  • fresh cranberries
  • organic cane sugar
  • certified gluten free oats
  • brown sugar
  • vegan buttery spread

Gluten free oats

There are lots of brands of certified gluten free oats to choose from. You can order oats that are manufactured in an allergen free facility from Gerbs Allergy Friendly Foods.

Another allergy friendly brand to check out is GF Harvest Oats, which can be purchased on Amazon.

If you are gluten free, make sure the oats you use say that they are certified gluten free on the label.

Which apples to use

You may want to choose a sweeter apple for this recipe, since the fresh cranberries are very tart. Fuji apples or Gala apples would work well since they are sweeter varieties.

Step by step instructions

  1. Thinly slice the apples and place in a baking dish. Add the cranberries and sugar.

2. Mix up the certified gluten free oats, brown sugar, and vegan buttery spread in a bowl.

3. Spread the oat topping over the apples and cranberries.

4. Bake at 375 degrees F for 30-35 minutes, until the oat topping is golden brown. Serve with dairy free ice cream if desired.

Substitutions

  • Try pears instead of apples.
  • If you don’t have fresh cranberries, you can use dried cranberries, but you may want to reduce the sugar in that case.
  • You could also use raspberries instead of cranberries.
  • If you are not dairy free, you can use regular butter.

Storage/Freezing

Store leftover crisp in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for about 3-4 days.

You should be able to freeze leftovers in a freezer safe container. The topping may not be as crispy when you reheat it, but it should still taste good.

Ingredients

For the apples:

  • 4 ½ cups Fuji apples thinly sliced (you could also use Gala apples)
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • â…” cup organic cane sugar

For the oat topping:

  • 1 ½ cups certified gluten free oats
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 6 Tablespoons vegan buttery spread cut into small pieces
US Customary – Metric

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Peel, core, and slice the apples thin, and put them in a baking dish that is about 9×9 inches. Add the cranberries and sugar, and toss to coat.

  2. Put the certified gluten free oats and brown sugar in a bowl. Add the buttery spread and cut in with a pastry blender until combined (it will be lumpy with little balls of butter). Spread this topping over the fruit.

  3. Bake at 375 degrees F for about 30-35 minutes. The oat topping should be golden brown.

  4. Serve warm with dairy free ice cream or dairy free whipped topping like Coco Whip. You can also eat this crisp plain- it's delicious either way!

Recipe Notes

I recommend using sweet apples for this recipe. Fuji or Gala would work very well.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for 3-4 days.

You can try pears in this recipe if you prefer. If you don’t have fresh cranberries, you can use dried cranberries, but you may want to reduce the sugar in that case.

      I wonder if you could make a crumb topping with a favorite cookie or graham cracker? That may work.
