Have you ever craved something sweet but didn’t have the time or energy to make a long, complicated recipe? Or, my personal favorite. the dreaded last minute, “Mom, I forgot. I need something for a bake sale tomorrow.” At times like this I turn to this recipe my aunt used to make when I was a child. I made an Apple Crisp, which is perfect for fall, with an adaption to make it Gluten Free. This recipe is easily adapted to any season. Sometimes I substitute a can of peaches, or a can of berries. Best of all, it only takes four ingredients. If you really want to make it over the top, add a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of caramel.
All you need to make this is a can of apple pie filling, cinnamon, a box of gluten free cake mix and butter.
Just place the apple pie filling in a 9″ by 9″ greased pan. Mix the butter, cake mix and cinnamon until it is crumbly. Top the pie filling with the crumbly mixture and bake for 25 minutes. That’s it! Once it is done, serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream. I have always gotten rave reviews on this one, even from the kids. No one can tell it is gluten free unless I tell them!
- 1 can (21 ounces) Apple Pie Filling (you can use whatever type of pie filling floats your boat)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 package Gluten Free Cake Mix
- 2 teaspoons butter, softened
- Pour the Apple Pie Filling into a 9″ by 9″ pan. In a separate bowl, mix the pie filling, cinnamon and cake mix until crumbly. Spread the cake mixture evenly over the apple pie filling. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until done. Serve warm with ice cream or allow to cool.
What is your favorite quick Fall dessert?
Looks like a fun dish to share! Even better that it’s gluten free!
Gosh, does that look delicious! It is wonderful that you can take these recipes and make them gluten free so everyone can enjoy them. Apple Crisp is one of my favorites.
Ooh, that looks delicious — and so great that it’s gluten-free.
Oh my this looks super delicious! I think that I am so going to give this a try this weekend!
Now this is a GF treat I would love to have. I miss some of the foods I used to be able to eat, so glad there are more options coming out.
What a quick and easy fall recipe. I can’t wait to make it , I think this would be perfect for family day on the farm.
This looks absolutely delicious! So easy too – maybe we’ll have it for dessert tonight.
This looks delicious. I’m a huge fan of apple pie so I know that I would love this apple crisp, especially for the holidays.
Yum, yum. Apple crisp is one of my favorite treats. Especially this time of the year!
This looks like a really good recipe for our family. It seems almost everyone is serving someone with a gluten allergy these days. My son has perceptual motor difficulty, it’s a form of autism and he can’t have gluten either. Thanks for sharing your idea.
