How To Make Apple Crumble Gluten Free

If you have an allergy or intolerance to gluten, this recipe is easy to turn gluten free.

Oats are naturally gluten free. Just be careful if the oats you buy come from a facility that also processes flour products because there could be some cross contamination, meaning small amounts of gluten could be present.

The flour in this recipe helps with binding the crumble together. It can easily be swapped for any type of gluten free flour.

This recipe is delicious plain or served with a topping. Try it with plain yogurt, whipped cream, or with vanilla ice cream.
