Ingredients

Scale

6 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Fuji), peeled, cored, and sliced into ½-inch thick pieces

¼ cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (ensure it contains xanthan gum)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼ teaspoon ground allspice

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

For the Gluten-Free Crumble Topping:

1 cup gluten-free rolled oats

¾ cup almond flour

½ cup packed light brown sugar

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

For the Gluten-Free Pie Crust:

1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (ensure it contains xanthan gum)

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed

¼ cup ice water

For the Chocolate Pecan Filling:

1 cup packed dark brown sugar

½ cup light corn syrup

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon salt

3 large eggs

1 cup semi-sweet gluten-free chocolate chips

1 ½ cups pecan halves or pieces


Instructions

Prepare the Apple Filling: In the large mixing bowl, gently combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.

Transfer the seasoned apple mixture to the 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it in an even layer.

Make the Gluten-Free Crumble Topping: In the same bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, almond flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to combine.

Add the cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. 1   

Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the gluten-free crumble topping evenly over the apple filling.

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbly.

Let cool slightly before serving this delightful gluten-free Thanksgiving dessert.
