Gluten Free Apple Crisp

Apple crisp is a fall staple, and easier than pie, so this recipe was perfect. We spent a LOT of time cutting and peeling apples, but otherwise making this recipe was pretty straightforward. Our rendition of apple crisp got rave reviews from Scott’s family, so this recipe is verifiably good. If you have one of those spinning apple peelers that does all the work for you, this recipe will be even better. Apple crisp is always a crowd-pleaser, and this one did not disappoint.
