Fall is here and I'm dreaming of crisp apples, beef stews, pumpkins, and hayrides.

This Gluten Free Apple Crisp recipe is a lower-sugar, healthy alternative to traditional apple crisp recipes. This apple crisp is made with gluten free flour, gluten free oats, almond butter, and coconut sugar, while the traditional apple crisp is made with white flour, white sugar, butter, and cornstarch. This gluten-free apple crisp is a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth without guilt. It's also a great option for those with food allergies or dietary restrictions.
