This gluten-free apple crisp is MUCH lower in sugar than your traditional apple pie or apple crisp recipes, but while it might be lacking in sugar it’s most definitely not lacking in flavor! Sweet cinnamon apple filling (sweetened with just a touch of pure maple syrup) is topped with a delicious oat and nut topping (made with almond butter instead of butter!). My favorite way to eat this gluten-free apple crisp is warm and topped with vanilla ice cream, of course. OR you could try my no-churn maple pecan ice cream which is a perfect flavor combination!
