gluten free apple crisp

This recipe is the result of a dilemma last week. I was hosting book club and wanted to serve a dessert that met the needs of the gluten-free and dairy-free among us and wasn’t too calorie laden. Since the fridge was full of apples, I decided on an oatmeal-based apple crisp. Here’s the recipe, which received the coveted Hiram seal of approval, though he suggests a new name: Granola Apple Crisp.

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Apple Crisp
or
Granola Apple Crisp

6–8 good baking apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (I used a mixture of Granny Smiths, Golden Delicious, and Honey Crisps)
1 3/4 cups oatmeal
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup margarine, at room temperature (check the label until you find one that’s dairy-free)

        Preheat oven to 375°. Layer apple slices in the bottom of a 9 x 9 baking dish or 2 quart casserole dish.
        Put 1 cup of oatmeal in blender and process until it’s the consistency of whole wheat flour. Put all dry ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Cut in margarine until mixture is lumpy and sticky. Sprinkle evenly over apples.
        Bake for 45 minutes or until juices are bubbling and the apples are cooked and soft. If the topping is getting too dark, place a piece of foil loosely over it until fruit is thoroughly baked.
