This Gluten Free Apple Dessert is the perfect treat for apple lovers. The sweet apple filling sits on a streusel crust and is topped with more delicious streusel.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and set aside a 9"x9" baking pan.
For the Crust:
In a medium bowl, stir together the gluten free flour blend, brown sugar, gluten free oats, pecans, spices, and salt until combined.
Add the melted butter and stir until completely combined.
Set aside 1 & ½ cups of the mixture for the topping.
Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of a 9"x9" pan.
Bake for 10 minutes.
For the Filling:
Place the peeled and diced apples in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the lemon juice and vanilla extract over the apples.
In a large saucepan, whisk together the apple juice, sugar, and flour until the sugar and flour are dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until thickened, 1-2 minutes.
Add to the apples and stir to combine.
Pour the filling into the crust.
Sprinkle the reserved mixture over the top of the filling.
Bake for 60-65 minutes until the filling is bubbly.
