Gluten-Free Apple Crisp (Dairy-Free, No Oats)
We went apple picking this weekend and I immediately came home and make this gluten-free apple crisp! I knew I wanted to make the recipe without oats because so many people are sensitive to oats, even if they are gluten-free oats. This dessert is perfect for fall, made with wholesome ingredients and is also dairy-free and refined sugar-free. I have been gluten-free and dairy-free for 8 years, so I am an expert at making delicious recipes that are allergy-friendly. Since I have chronic health issues as well, I also care deeply about what I am putting in my body and I try to focus on better-for-you ingredients as much as I can. Therefore, this gluten-free apple crisp is a treat that will make you feel included but also leave you feeling good!

Notes
RECIPE TIPS:
- Filling is watery: This usually means the apples released a lot of juice or the dish needs a few extra minutes to set. Let it rest for 10 minutes after baking so it can thicken as it cools. If it's still watery, drain the juice.
- Topping didn't get crisp or crumbly and is more like a paste: This usually means the coconut oil was too hot when mixed in. Be sure not to let the coconut oil overheat.
- Topping burned before the apples were done: Every oven and air fryer is different, so make sure to watch your apple crisp. If the topping is browning and the apples don't seem done underneath, cover it with tinfoil for the remaining time.
- Topping is not getting clumpy: Add more coconut oil!
- Apples are still firm after baking: This can happen if the apple chunks were too large. Add a few extra minutes of bake time and cover with tinfoil if the topping is already browning.
