Is there anything better in the summer than spooning a pile of warm fruit crumble into a bowl and topping it with a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream? Summer bliss.
Fruit crumbles are one of our favorite desserts to make in the summer (well, any time of year, really). Apple Crumble is how we hang onto summer as we start to make that slide into fall around late August.
This buttery-rich gluten-free apple crumble is a delicious, easy alternative to apple pie. It's just as flavorful, but without the fuss of making gluten-free pie crust (because honestly, sometimes we just can't be bothered.)
Serve with vanilla ice cream or dairy-free ice cream over top for an extra dreamy treat.
This recipe was adapted to gluten-free diets from a recipe, which appears in the Cooking Light—Holiday Cookbook, Buttery Apple Crumble.
