Free From Gluten: Using the Fall Bounty: Apples

• 1 cup gluten free oats
• 3 cups water
• 1 cup So Delicious Coconut Milk or ½ c canned coconut milk
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp sea salt
• 2 Tbs organic butter
• 1 sliced apple

Bring the water to a boil then add oats, coconut milk, cinnamon, and salt. Reduce heat and cook at a simmer for 25-30 minutes, until creamy. Stir in butter at end of cooking and top with apple slices.

The second recipe is from the Free From Gluten kitchen, for maple apple crisp.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup gluten free oats
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 5 apples cored and sliced (peeled or unpeeled)
• 2 Tbs lemon juice
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg

To make the cumble topping, mix the butter, oats and brown sugar in a bowl. Toss the apple slices, lemon juice, maple syrup and spices in a separate bowl. Layer apple mixture in 9×9 pan and cover with crumble topping. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 35 minutes, or until apples are tender.

For a vegan or dairy free option, substitute coconut oil for butter. You can also mix nuts or shredded coconut into the topping. You can also add a dash of apple cider to the mix for an extra hint of fall.
