Gluten-free apple crumble

Serves:

Ingredients

• 6-8 green and/or red apples, cored, peeled, each sliced into approx 8 wedges
• ¾ cup raw sugar

Crumble topping

• 3 tablespoons almond meal
• 4 tablespoons rice flour
• 2 tablespoons dessicated coconut
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1½ tablespoons butter or margarine, softened

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C. 

Place the apples and sugar in a saucepan with a little water, place heat on medium and cook until apples are tender. Be careful the apples don’t burn the bottom of the saucepan. 

While the apples are cooking, combine topping ingredients and rub together with fingers.

Layer the apples and their juices in a greased ovenproof dish. Cover the apples with the crumble mixture and bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

This apple crumble can be served hot or cold with your favourite plain yoghurt, custard or cream.
