Gluten free Apple Crisp

Gluten free Apple Crisp

Recipe by Gluten Free Baking By Rachelle (Rachelle Himmelman)

This time of the year brings a plethora of fruits and vegetables and one of our very favorites is apples.

I love to make applesauce, pies, cakes, and this very yummy apple crisp.  Every time I make a dessert like this I truly believe it makes my children come out of the wood work. :) We have four kids and two are grown and moved out and still have two at home.  I make this recipe in a 9x13 pan which I thought was going to allow me some leftovers, boy was I ever wrong.  I will be making another one ASAP because everyone liked it so much.  The family was so excited about this crisp that every time I turned around they were asking, can we have some yet?
This is a simple recipe people will think you spent hours preparing, a dollop of whipping cream or vanilla ice cream is a wonderful tasty accent.
