The Best Gluten Free Apple Crumble!



We had a great crop of Apples this year, resulting in us making an abundance of crumbles, pies, chutneys and cider! We then wrapped the rest in newspaper, and most of them are still in great condition. So today I decided to use some of the ones which were in not so good condition by making a good old fashioned crumble, but being on my Gluten Free diet (or reducing gluten diet I should probably say!) I wanted to make an equally delicious or even more delicious alternative. So I substituted plain flour for Ground Almonds and Rice Flour, and the result was a delicious crisp topping complementing our autumn apples! I used a mix of Bramley apples (cooking) and Cox apples (eating), in order to have the texture of the 'melted' apples as well as having small chunks.

Ingredients

For the base:

2 Cooking apples
1 Eating apple
1 tbs of honey

For the topping:

2 part of ground almonds
1 part of rice flour
butter
honey
brown sugar for the top

Method

I think most people know how to make a crumble, so I'm not going to go into much detail!

First I chopped the apples up and added the honey, I then cooked it in a pan for 5 min and then put in in my oven dish.
I then put the ground almonds and rice flour in a bowl, with enough honey to sweeten and then added enough butter to make the mixture resemble bread crumbs, and stuck that on top of the apple.
I then sprinkled a little brown sugar on the top and baked until golden!
I served it with a little Greek yogurt and a few frozen raspberries (from our summer crop!)
