Apple Crisp

My parents have always liked apple pie, apple strudel and things like that so I decided that apple crisp was the way to go. It has the fall feeling and my parents love it so how could I not pick it, plus its gluten AND egg-free!

So first you will need ingredients! I will be using all these:

• 6 apples (Macintosh, Delicious, Pink Lady, Gala)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
• 2 tsp tapioca (or arrowroot starch)
• 1 cup quinoa flakes
• 3/4 cup sorghum flour (or brown rice flour)
• 1 cup organic light brown sugar
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 3/4 cup pure grape seed oil

First of, I used home grown apples so I didn't have to peel them only core and slice, but with those store bought ones you will have to peel and core and slice them. Once you do that, toss them into a bowl and sprinkle the apples with lemon juice now toss them until they are thoroughly coated.

So now that all the lemon juice is coated, add the maple syrup to the bowl and toss once again. mmm  maple syrup! Haha now dust it with tapioca or arrowroot starch(I used tapioca)and once again toss the bowl to coat those crisp apple slices, now pour those slices into your greased baking pan.

So remember crisps always need the crisp so pour the quinoa flakes, brown rice flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and sea salt and mix mix mix together.

Now pour in the grape seed or coconut oil, then using a whisk mix mix mix again.

Mix it until it is an even, sandy mixture... it will look something like this!

Now spoon that crispy hodgepodge right on top of those juicy apples.


























Don't just leave it there! You have to spread it evenly throughout the whole top of the pan.

Now after 20 minutes take it out of the oven and cover it loosely with aluminum foil and stick it back in that oven for another 20 minutes.

Once that's done, let it cool.... I know I know its hard! It smells soo scrumptious but be patient. So once you have waited those few minutes grab that tub of your favorite ice cream, plate and some of the crisp and enjoy!

Cook time: 40-45 minutes
Total time: 1 hr 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 6 apples (Macintosh, Delicious, Pink Lady, Gala)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
• 2 tsp tapioca (or arrowroot starch)
• 1 cup quinoa flakes
• 3/4 cup sorghum flour (or brown rice flour)
• 1 cup organic light brown sugar
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground ginger

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF and grease your 8x11-inch baking pan;set aside.
2. Peel and core apples then slice and toss into a bowl. Now sprinkle apples with lemon juice and toss to thoroughly coat. Add the maple syrup to the bowl and mix. Dust with tapioca or arrowroot starch and mix again to coat the apple slices. Pour the slices into the greased baking pan.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the quinoa flakes, brown rice flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and sea salt and whisk together. Add the coconut oil in pieces,using a whisk cut the coconut oil into the flour and then mix until it is an even, sandy mixture.
4. Spoon the mixture over the top of all the apples in the baking pan.
5. Bake in oven for about 20 minutes. Then cover top loosely with piece of foil and continue to bake for 20 more minutes(depends on the size or type of apples), until the apples are tender and sides of the crisp are bubbling. (The foil will keep the top mixture from browning too much.)
6. Then allow crisp to cool before serving.
