Ingredients

• 8 medium apples, peeled and diced
• zest of one orange
• 1⁄2 cup (125 mL) gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 1⁄3 cup (90 mL) butter or alternative (such as Earth Balance)
• 3⁄4 cup (175 mL) brown sugar
• 1⁄2 cup (125 mL) pure oats (e.g. Bob’s Red Mill or Only Oats)*
• 1 tsp (5 mL) cinnamon

Method

1. Pre-heat oven to 375º F. Grease 8 ramekins (4-inch). Toss apples with zest and divide among ramekins.
2. Place flour blend in a large bowl. Add butter or alternative in small pieces. Using your fingertips rub together until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3. Add remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Sprinkle mixture over apples.
4. Bake for 30 minutes until topping is golden brown.

*Note: Gluten-free provided pure oats are allowed in your g-f diet on a limited basis. See Shelley Case’s explanation.
