Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour blend
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 2 cups chopped peeled apples (about 2 medium apples)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, almond flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Press about two-thirds of this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
  5. In a separate bowl, toss the chopped apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, and cornstarch.
  6. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the crust.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture evenly over the apples.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use a mix of apple varieties like Honeycrisp and Granny Smith.
  • If you don’t have almond flour, you can substitute with more gluten-free all-purpose flour, but the texture will be slightly different.
  • Ensure your butter is very cold for the best crumble texture.
