3 tablespoons Irish whiskey

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp cinnamon ground

½ tsp cardamom ground

¼ tsp nutmeg ground

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350* F. Brush some melted butter on the bottom and sides of a 9×13 pan. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, stir together the sliced apples, sugar, gluten free flour, Irish whiskey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg. Spread evenly into the 9×13 pan. Set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together the oats, gluten free flour, and brown sugar. Drizzle the butter over the top and mix until crumbly. Stir in the pecans and a pinch of salt. Spread evenly over the apples.

Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are bubbling slightly. Remove from oven and cool slightly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. (You can reheat it in a 200*F oven for 15-20 minutes to reheat the crisp if you want to make it ahead!)

Such a warm cozy dessert! Didn't make it gluten free, as we only had regular oats and flour with us. Snapped a pic putting the oat toppings on before we baked it. Served with vanilla ice cream!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Oats and Pecans 🥜
Lightly toast the gluten-free oats and pecans in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before mixing with butter to intensify their nutty flavor and create a deeper, more complex topping.
Macerate Apples With Sugar 🍎
Toss your sliced apples with sugar and whiskey 10 minutes before assembling to allow them to release their natural juices, creating a syrupy base that keeps the crisp moist.
Bloom Your Spices in Butter 🧈
Mix your cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom directly into the melted butter before combining with oats to activate the spices' essential oils and distribute flavor evenly throughout the topping.
Use a High-Starch Apple Blend 🍐
Combine 2-3 apple varieties (like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn) to balance tartness, sweetness, and texture, preventing the filling from becoming too soft or one-dimensional.
Whiskey Reduction for Depth 🥃
Add whiskey to the apple mixture rather than just the topping, and let it simmer in the oven for the first 5 minutes to cook off some alcohol while concentrating its warm, caramel-like notes.
